PassthroughKey 2.0 Your VaM characters in your real room
What's new in 2.0
Real floor shadows – characters cast soft shadows on your actual floor, dark where they touch it, fading further away.
Point at your lights – capture a ceiling light, lamp or TV with the controller laser. No more staring into the light.
Draw your window – touch the bottom corners, point at the top. On a sunny day, point at the sunlit patch and the sun shines through your window onto your character.
Tuned looks per light – each light type comes with its own look, and each preset remembers its captured light. Two lights of the same kind work too.
Lights stay on – applied lights come back by themselves after a VaM start or scene load.
Cleaner room – Hide environment now removes everything except people and UI: fog, light shafts, particles and all.
Hidden atoms list – untick anything you want to keep (a chair, light shafts), or hide a person. Saved per scene.
Room anchor – select two fixed spots in your room. After a headset sleep or a scene load, select them again, and your character is back where you left them.
Stays on your floor – body, hair and clothes rest on your real floor instead of sinking through it.
Fuller hair – fine strands are kept, without the dark outline.
Character gamma – a darker, moodier look with one slider, and the key stays clean.
Built-in setup check – the test pattern tells you at a glance if a Virtual Desktop setting is off.
Six profiles with a startup profile, redesigned menus that fit on screen, clearer headset messages with sounds.
Updating from 1.0
Old profiles don't carry over – save them again.
Virtual Desktop Gamma must be 1.0 (Streaming tab). Use Character gamma for a darker look.
Virtual Desktop Smoothness is now 5 (needed for floor shadows).
How to use
Add PassthroughKey as a Session plugin (Session Plugin Presets → Change User Defaults keeps it always on).
In Virtual Desktop, enter the values from the plugin's Required Virtual Desktop settings box.
