Unity SteamVR_LoadLevel what is the proper way to use?

[drohack]

Hello I'm attempting to use the SteamVR_LoadLevel to transition scenes easier in my Unity Game. Currently I'm just switching the normal Application.LoadLevel("LevelToLoad"); with the SteamVR_LoadLevel.Begin("LevelToLoad");. This seems to be working fine for fading into the default SteamVR loading room (a.k.a. "white room"), then fading into the "LevelToLoad". But I cannot get the Skybox to load & I don't know how to change the hand models.

I've tried dragging over my Skybox images (top, botton, front, back, left, right) onto the SteamVR_LoadLevel.cs script & SteamVR_Skybox.cs script. BUT when I try and debug the SteamVR_LoadLevel.cs script it always shows the "front" texture as NULL.
Do I need to add the SteamVR_LoadLevel.cs script onto an object in the scene to set the Skybox textures? Or do I need to do something else?

Is there an example scene using SteamVR_LoadLevel within the SteamVR plugin for Unity (I might be blind to that example scene. Or does someone else have an example)?

Also is there any way to change the Vive Wand models within the transition scene (so they match the models I'm using in my game)?

And finally is there any way to load in GameObjects into the transition scene? (I'm not entirely sure how SteamVR_LoadLevel works. If it's just loading an intermediate scene then I would hope we would be able to load in our GameObjects into that scene. BUT if we are just passing Textures to the SteamVR program and letting that handle loading the transition scene then I could see us not being able to load in GameObjects.)

I can tell you how I did these.
I use the SceneManager to load the level rather than application.loadlevel.
I added a SteamVR_Skybox and populated it, no more white room. background matches my game and new scene fades in when when the scene has loaded.
I added models of my hands to the controllers and turned off the automatic models that are used.

Ah right, Application.LoadLevel("LevelToLoad") is deprecated and SceneManager.LoadScene("LevelToLoad") is the correct way of loading a scene in Unity.

When you say you "added a SteamVR_Skybox and populated it". Do you mean you created a new GameObject that held the SteamVR_Skybox script to your scene? Did you need to make that GameObject "DontDestroyOnLoad"?

[Bangerman]

yes to adding the skybox to a gameobject. You probably need to make it dont destroy on load.

I added the SteamVR_Skybox to a GameObject (and set to DontDestroyOnLoad). And loading the scenes with SceneManager.LoadScene("LevelToLoad") now have the correct skybox.
BUT my hand models are still switching to the default Wand models. (they're not keeping the models I switched them out with in my [CameraRig]).

My hierachy looks like this

GameCameraRoot // the room
-[CameraRig]
-- Controller (left)
-- MyLeftHandModel
-- Model // (SteamVR_RenderModel disabled)
........

Works a treat

Doesn't the recommended SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync work?
The syntax is: public static AsyncOperation LoadSceneAsync(string "sceneName", SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode mode = LoadSceneMode.Single);

In case someone tries to use this with SteamVR 2.0:
First thing I forgot is the
using Valve.VR;
