SteamVR Vive Tracker Skins?

[xhonzi]

When will SteamVR allow us to skin the Vive Trackers? Mine are all grey boxes for the moment.

They're showing up in the dashboard that way? Are the icons working?

Can you post a screenshot?

[xhonzi]

If by dashboard, you mean the SteamVR status, then no- their icons appear just fine. I mean after I start SteamVR, but before I start an app- when I can see the env and controller models I've downloaded from the Workshop- the trackers are correctly modeled but the texture is grey checkerboard. I assume these will be replaceable through the workshop eventually, just wondering when.

I'll post a screenshot later.

See? Just Grey boxes. I dug around the Steam directories to see if I could find the models, since I clearly have those. I didn't find them in the usual places. :(

Same issue here, I only see them as grey checkerboard models. Also, in SteamVR home they don't show up at all, only when I click their status button and get the steamvr overlay.

@Programmer Joe, can you help us?

Just got my trackers paired and this is still happening with today's SteamVR update.

Did you ever find it?
I checked all the folders in Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\resources\rendermodels. No dice. Where did they stick that mesh?

[Doomy]

same here, what's going on he is not replying anymore :(

I found it here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\drivers\htc\resources\rendermodels

So this never got resolved huh? just got my tracker 2.0s in and they're textureless

[ZectionAte]

I figured out how to do it. I posted the info and files are on github here: https://github.com/GrodenVR/better-vive-tracker-model

I've known about them being there (I used them to get a wireframe render for a video), but really wish you could skin them like the controllers.

Still, excellent job!
