Beat Saber Custom Avatars and Camera Plus | Mod Tutorial (Sept) 2020
In this article, I'll guide you through the process of getting an avatar to play in Beat Saber and showcasing it with the Camera Plus mod. Ensure you have Mod Assistant installed. If not, download it from the link provided in the upright corner of the video. All relevant links will be in the description.
Step 1: Setting Up Mod Assistant
First, open Mod Assistant and navigate to the "Mods" tab. Find "Dynamic Open VR," essential for avatars to appear in Beat Saber. Check it and click "Install or Update."
Step 2: Getting Custom Avatars
Next, join the Beat Saber Modding Group Discord. Usually, you would search for variations of "custom avatar" to find the latest working version, but a direct link is provided in the description for your convenience. Click the link to download the zip file. Once downloaded, extract the contents to your desktop.
Step 3: Installing the Mod Files
Go to Mod Assistant options and open the folder. Place all three files from the extracted zip into this folder. Then, enter the "Plugins" folder and move the "Custom Avatar" file into the Beat Saber plugin folder. Finally, drag "Dynamic Open VR" over and override if necessary.
Step 4: Downloading Avatars
Navigate to bSaber.com, go to the "Plugins" section, and choose "Avatar." Enable the one-click install feature in Mod Assistant. Click "Install" for any avatars you like. These will appear in your custom avatars folder.
Step 5: Configuring Avatars in Beat Saber
Open Beat Saber. In the mod section, find the avatar tab, and your selected avatars should appear. Though a green screen might show up when selecting an avatar, it doesn't affect gameplay.
In settings, enable the first-person view and use "Resize Mode" and "Floor Height Adjust" to get the correct size. For full-body tracking, calibrate using the "Measure Arm Span" option. Options like "Avatar specific" and "Automatic FBT" are primarily for full-body tracking users.
Step 6: Setting Up Camera Plus Mod
Install the Camera Plus mod from Mod Assistant. Reopen the game, then right-click in the game viewer window to add new cameras, duplicate, or remove them. Set one for third-person and one for the first person views, positioning each as needed.
Adjust viewer field of view and render scale for optimal quality. Enable transparent walls for better visuals. Use the profile saver to keep your preferred camera setups, and switch between them seamlessly.
Step 7: Recording Gameplay
For recording, use OBS Studio. Many tutorials are available to guide you. Ensure your setup aligns with the tips mentioned for smooth recording.
If "Dynamic Open VR" isn't in Mod Assistant, find it in the Beat Saber Modding Group Discord.
