| Camera Update | 2025-03-14 | Hi! Here's an update to the LCK camera and LIV mixed reality app. When you grab the LCK camera it will now output the video to the monitor and will also start following you around so you can record chase footage and just make it easier to reach the controls. Press the LCK camera button in the setting to make it stop. Here's an example of the new follow cam (that drop scared me lol) I've also fixed the LIV mixed reality app so it should composite with camera feed or LIV avatar properly. Other changes: Updated LCK plugin Updated Normcore plugin Tweaked the space level a bit |
