You're welcome. Happy to hear it's a dream come true for you.

My dream come true

thank you

That's very kind of you. Thanks.

Gave one for thanking

Thank You to everyone who has given me an Award.

It's much appreciated. :)

Thanks. I had no idea there was a locomotion tool. Although it looks like it's a custom made tool. I wish Valve would add an official option to change your locomotion type.

Truly fantastic! Any chances you'll be able to add the locomotion tool for it? Extremely few environments implement it, and it would be lovely to walk around freely in this one.

The One Ring is about the size of a real ring, maybe slightly bigger. So it won't be the easiest thing to find.

I can't even find the ring, am I just bad at VR?

I guess it doesn't help that you don't know what you're looking for.

Hint: If I remember correctly, it's a bit smaller than a basket ball.

I can't for the life of me find whatever is hidden in the field

No worries aalpaacaa, happy to help.

ah , thank you so much for taking the time out to help LucidKiwi , appreciate that.
I'll update you when i'm done creating one :')

aalpaacaa, oh sorry, I wasn't sure exactly what you meant, but I understand what you're after now.

The background image I'm using is the default SteamVR Home background environment image.

It can be found under the Env_Sky entity, under 'Sky Material': materials/skyboxes/sky_vesper_peak.vmat.

But first, make sure you add 'Summit Pavilion' as a dependency to your Custom Environment. See the 'Creating an Addon' section in the guide below on how to do that.

LucidKiwi, i'll definitely try those setting out ,
since I'm coming from architecture, we use HDRI to describe the cubemap or like the panaroma 360* image of the environment, the cloud sky and mountain image.

If i'm not wrong its the very similar used in Summit Pavlion of the home page.
so i'm actually looking for that environment image

Hey aalpaacaa, Thanks, glad you like it.

I haven't seen anything called HDRI in Hammer, but if you talking about the HDR lighting, I think I used a custom setting that was manually put in, which was a slight variation of one of Valves older skybox colors.

Light_Environment custom settings:
Color: R238 G232 B170
Brightness: 2
Range: 512
Indirect Multiplier: 2
Sky Intensity: .1
Sky Ambient Bounce: R84 G126 B177

LucidKiwi hey i was pretty amazed by the quality work of the environment. ive noticed your hdri,
since i'm planning to work on an environment too and if its not much of a trouble at all, if you could help me fetching the environment HDRI that you ve used, i would be very thankful . Thanks in advance.

Thank you all. :)

@Beyonder1979, I'm not sure the Underground Home map can handle much more detail, as it is already quite jerky in certain spots outside. So combining it with Hobbit House, plus the extra detail I still need to add to the field in Hobbit House, would probably make it a very jerky/stuttery experience for most people.

It would be cool to make an entire Hobbiton style village though. But it would likely have to be at a reduced detail level(which I'm not a fan of), or making the map in a way that means you can't see the whole map at once, which isn't ideal, because I wouldn't be able to create it how I wanted to.

Why not combine the Underground Home and the Hobbit House into ONE Environment?

Impressive! :D

Lovely.
