Creating Setting Templates

VirtualLens2 has a variety of configuration parameters, and when you need to set up for multiple avatars with almost identical settings, it can become a time-consuming task to input the parameters repeatedly. In such cases, creating setting templates can help you streamline the process by skipping the input of common parameters.

Creating Setting Prefabs

Start by performing the setup using the standard procedure. The object with VirtualLens Settings that is generated during this setup can be turned into a setting prefab by dragging and dropping it into the project view. When doing this, you will be prompted to either create a new prefab or create a prefab variant. Generally, it is recommended to create it as a prefab variant.

v2.9.0-: A default setting prefab (VirtualLens2/Prefabs/DefaultSettings.prefab) is now provided. VirtualLens Settings created by the setup helper in versions prior to v2.8.x does not reference this prefab. Therefore, it is recommended to recreate the setting prefab for compatibility with future updates.

Using Setting Prefabs

When setting up VirtualLens2 for a new avatar, specify the prefab you created in the “Settings Template” field of the setup helper. This will enable the settings to be based on the template you created instead of using the default settings that come with VirtualLens2.
