What you need

An OS that can use Windows x86 programs.
StreetView Grabber (Download link: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=50248)
A website to host your photos (I recommend Dropbox as it's easy to replace the file with out any dramas)
A photo editing program what allows you to flip the picture horizontally. (You can use builtin Paint program from Microsoft or Photoshop

[/h1]
[/list]

The Steps

1. Copy the url link from the Streetview page.

2. Open StreetView Grabber program.

3. Adjuect the quality slider like the picture above & make sure the Output JPEG is been choosen/filled.

4. Click on" Add Pano", prees "Yes" on clipboard popup and then press "Grab!" button.

5. Go to your output folder & use a photo editing program to flip the picture horizontally since the downloaded photo is mirrored. (By default, the output folder is within StreetView Grabber folder.)

7. Upload your HDRI panorama photo to your choice of photo hosting website.

Ingame

8. While in Tabletop Simulator, go to Host>Backgrounds>Cusdom & paste in your url of HDRI panorama photo & then press import.

9. U & I are done, cheers.
Now you're ready to host some ludicrous lobbies.

well, Bouma, seeing as how custom backgrounds are applied to a circle, which is especially noticeable in vr (or if you just move the camera really far out in screen mode) you'll see a dark, empty void. And you also see that some parts aren't getting larger as they would in real life. So, it's more or less the same as putting a photo of a beach over your windows at home.

I'm curious what the experience is like in VR. Anybody try this yet?

This is goddamned brilliant!!!

For anyone struggling to host this on a website or whatever, if you use the custom background option in TTS, you can just point to the file itself on your computer ie C:\Users\yourusernamehere\Desktop\whateverthefilenameis.jpg and it'll work.

I couldn't get this method to work on indoor locations, so I ended up using istreetview [istreetview.com].

Still works like a charm! Thanks!
