Been playing VR for a year now. You, Naysy, and LSToast have all been helpful with your tutorials on how to setup a MR studio. Since we move every few months for work. I had to make a mobile setup. Your tutorial is extremely useful. Thank you for all the hard work.
Awesome tutorial! The only reason I’m addicted to beat saber is from watching your videos. I did have to figure the liv obs without your tutorial but I used your hardware list. Thank you for this addiction and thank you for the videos
FOR THE LONGEST TIME I WANTED A TUTORIAL THAT WAS EASY FOR THIS SETUP GREAT JOB RACHEL! I originally thought it would be alot harder to set up but you made it look a whole loi easier to set vr up! Thank you! BTW I have a Ryzen 5 2600 paired with a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB and 32 Gigs of RAM and the occulus rift and HTC VIVE checker said "BEAT SABER COMPATIBLE" so I know i just have to purchase a few things to get my setup going thanks to your tutorial!
I went as far as buying a murphy bed so I can have extra space for VR and start doing some mixed reality. To hang my green screen, which is the same one you got, I got a curtain rail that mounts to the ceiling. I also screwed down some metal slats on the floor and taped magnets on the bottom of my green screen so that it's nice and straight. Then I bought some floor mats. I also went straight for the Logitech Brio webcam. I also got a ring light for it. Also got a pair of cheap Neewer panel lights. So whenever I want to record a mixed reality video, I just pull the curtain over and make sure all the magnets on the bottom are in place, lay the mats down, turn the lights on, then check LIV and make sure there's no gaps between the green screen play space and what I'm trying to mask out. I also made a shield to go over my overhead light to reflect some of it back on the green screen and to block any light from blinding the camera. The shield is made of cardboard and has aluminum tape on one side. My murphy bed was about $1,500 and is definitely worth it. Doesn't come with a mattress, but was able to use my existing mattress. It's definitely more comfortable with the slatted support system rather than having a box spring.
Wow. This was a great video. Thank you for breaking it down and showing not only where to go to get this, how to set it up but even showing the gear you use! Now if I can only find some motivation to set this up, get better at Beat Saber and give it a shot! lol! Leaving a like! Thank you so much for this how-to guide!
I rent so your tutorial was right on the nose for what I need for setup since I will have to use my bedroom and likely be setting up and taking down each time I use it. Thank you so much!
Thanks for showing how to do it with OBS! All the other tutorials seem to just completely skip the part where they explain how to actually make a video file from it.
Very informative video! I've been wondering exactly how you were doing this, and while I had most of it, you certainly taught me the finer details I was missing. Greatly appreciate the breakdown, especially the speed and detail you used - spot on. Side note, I've been giving myself a deep dive on OBS, streaming, etc, before I begin my journey, and I believe you can double your audio bit rate to 320 as of a few months ago, with no penalty on Twitch / elsewhere. Maybe do a quick Google search, but it should greatly increase your audio quality, with a very minimal impact to file size, bandwidth, etc. Twitch now allows that additional audio on top of the 6k, so don't worry about limits. If you do end up using this, let me know, would love to hear the difference between two videos from someone I follow!
whoa your light boxes are massive, I only use some LED strips and a tiny lamp and it works great. Use 5730 strips, they're 50w and 6000k so they're extremely bright and only $10 for 5m, it would save so much space. You can also use a custom static mask so you only need to crop out the camera instead of the whole side.
@@rangerkayla8824 I have quite a big area for my mixed reality studio but my lighting was dirt cheap and it still looks great. For photography however your LEDs should be high CRI.
Great, straight forward, sufficiently detailed (I think...haven't set it up yet) so thanks! Good presentation, good pacing, good audio. Such a relief after watching so many meandering incomprehensible tutorials with audio you can't hear clearly.
You inspired me to get a green screen on Amazon and My PC is an i5 10400 which is close to your CPU... I have two ring lights one on my desk shining at me and one behind my desk in behind the green screen... My camera is similar to yours and it also records and streams in 1080p60 too and my GPU is a GTX 1050 Ti OC SRTIX from ASUS.. I am not getting a VR headset but I intend to use my green screen pinned to my ceiling it's a 6x9FT one and it's going to do the trick for me. I have win11 22H2 on my system and 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM as well to run my recordings and streams on my many screens. Thanks for the setup tutorial on this.. it's helping me make my setup like yours and it's going to be bloody awesome once the Green Screen arrives tomorrow afternoon! Thanks Rachel for your help! Really helps out alot!
Helped a lot, thank you very much, complete tutorial! My only question: Can I change the angle/rotation of the game in this mixed camera? How to make it straighter, more to the side, more from above?
This is perfect. I like Atom Bomb’s instructions but they are just too short on detail. their webpage has way different looking pictures than their videos do. Ugh. Confusing. I screamed SO many times trying to calibrate… running to the LIV discord, reset blah blah blah… Your video takes the time and shows THE thing about calibrating I’ve been asking LIV to show better for two years now: to show people better HTF you are supposed to hold your hands and your BODY in relative orientation to the CAMERA *while* we place and click little red X ❌ lol. For example you show that we DO have to torque the bejeezuh out of our wrists to get behind that last red ❌ . FR. I’ve had controllers set up in reverse cuz I couldn’t visualize this, so THANKS!!! 🎉
That was very nicely done and well explained and on a low budget except perhaps for the computer). I like your idea to use the green floor mats instead of extending the greenscreen which I had wondered about as well with shoes. Someone on here mentioned that you used chroma key controllers to eliminate the controllers in the shots and have swords in your hand...very nice touch. I do differ with another poster who said he was convinced that one must go hi-end studio to achieve great results because you nailed it..looked great. One last thing ...you fit in perfectly in the fight scenes but somehow I'd like to see your skin tone or outfit match the environment more...less looking like a regular person... and more like one of their world adversaries...although I'm sure you have the Laura Croft fan club watching and cheering for you on your channel. haa
How do you change the angle of the camera slightly off center so you can see the Beat Saber blocks coming down the lane? (Please refer to 12:05 in your video) Right now I have my back perfectly in line with the camera so you don't see the blocks coming towards me. Would I have to physically move my camera off to the side some?
Wow. Great tutorial. I am a Twitch streamer who recently got an Oculus quest 2. I haven't tried what you said in this yet as I'm at work, but you made it very simple and I look forward to trying it out. One question, I'm having issues with Steam VR finding my VR set with an official Oculus link cable to my pc. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!! Amazing job. Best I've seen so far!!!!
Very good video. I was wondering how you do multiple camera angles. Do you use more than one camera at the same time, or do you record a second video from the other camera angle and then piece the videos together?
I'm convinced there's no way to make video that doesn't look like absolute garbage without putting serious time and money into a professional studio setup. There's tons of visual distortion on either me or background... At best it's possible to make one or the other look totally clear, but usually they both look like garbage. Segmentive key (which in theory eliminates the need for a green screen) is even worse; usually my arms are invisible, and my body constantly appears and disappears.
are you able to add the recording from the game with your green screen recording after the fact or do they need to be done all at one time? also great video thanks.
Excelent video! Just I have one doubt please , How do you link the games in Liv , for example Beat saber, I already purchase in my oculus and I already link steam vr with oculus, but the game didt appear in the capture section of Liv , how you do that please :D
Also could I get some clarification on my current understanding: Liv: tracks the vr motion and records my motion OBS: records my gameplay and also stitches my motion from Liv into one video that I will output?
Hi been watching you forever. I tried an Oculus 1 tethered but gave up because of too many reboots. It is years later and I have an Index now, so I will try again. I will send you link. I don't have the moves however, so not too great. Do you practice and choreograph at all? Do you do test videos before the final, and how many in an example? Do you workout specifically for the videos?
This is awesome. I noticed your headset is plugged in or has a cable running from it. Would the oculus quest 2 work the same way? I don’t have cables to plug it in.
Steam has driven me to insanity at least three times in life, so I decided to give it another go while watching this video. Sadly, the client still doesn't work. It's frustrating because I have everything else ready to go and yet again, Steam is the broken link in the entire process.
I'm struggling so much with the flooring! The link for flooring doesn't seem to make green anymore, so i bought some from wesellmats but they're quite dark and textured, so my chroma key isn't working very well. Before I got these I was using gorilla glue rug pad gripper underneath my green screen and it worked alright, but only barefoot. If I wore shoes the floor would get all kinds of messed up and I play pretty active games. Any tips would be so helpful!
So when the sabers move behind you and become obscured, and visible over the top of you when swung behind... is this something LIV works out on its own, or does that have to be configured? :)
i know this video is 3 years old but i hope you see this lol i'm stuck at 9:50 :/ i don't know how to get the game to show on screen and put myself in it at the same time
Hmm. Do you know if there is a solution for this if playing from the quest version of the game? I can't connect to steam while in the quest app environment and can't simultaneously use beat saber and virtual desktop.
