What's a "small feature" Open Brush that could add that would have a big impact for lots of users? Give us some ideas for things to work on on a rainy day. #openbrush #tiltbrush #vrart #vr

I was once part of a small team at Google that made a VR drawing app. Today is the ten year anniversary of its release. Happy birthday, Tilt Brush! The app is no longer supported, but it lives on in openbrush.app @openbrush.app

The Windows Thumbnail Extension is now available from openbrush.itch.io/openbrush (see the last item in the download list). This should make it much easier to rename and sort your sketches. Quest users can use this as well. Just copy over your sketches to a PC, organise them and copy them back.

Do I know anyone making #art with @openbrush.app? One of my favorite #VR art tools. There's gorgeous work online in the @icosa.gallery. Viewable in desktop! This is the community-made project that replaced Google Poly! Wheels turning over here (this is how I stay sane in the winter).

Spent the #night getting reacquainted with @openbrush.app #VR. Some 43,600 brush strokes & 117,111,117 polys later, very satisfying to just make stuff~! Want to figure out how to sync audio with the camera paths tool next! #MeatbagArt #digitalart

A dramatic close up of part of tonight's session, i started by creating the universe so i could make an apple pie. Lots of abstract forms, with lots of easily-accessible humanizing tools under the header 'jitter'. Basically makes your hands wiggle in weird ways, so blasting out shapes was a lot like a fireworks show, made very easily with vr controllers, painting in the air. Big fan of the polygon/hull tools and just learning the 'camera paths' tool. The plan is to make a video later this week, I made one tonight, but can do better. These shots also have a bit too much blur for my tastes (looks good in motion tho).

Another still from tonight's art session, I made 6 sculptures in one big explosion of novelty. In the center of this shot, there's a red, black and gold little knotted up hive that looks incredible up close. The best part about creating in space is all the perspectives you can paint from, and then walk around them. Just satisfying, lines on paper does similar for me too.

This segment, where the scene zooms through the center was inspired by cgi from old heartburn medicine commercials and Trapper Keeper art. It looks kinda messy in still shots, hopefully a video will help it stand out more. I'm also colorblind, can you tell?

A close up of the beginning of tonight's session. Concentric waves (of my arms in front of me), no thoughts. Like looking at the sky, let the brain do its' thing, let the feedback loop guide me.

We're very close to releasing proper integration with @icosa.gallery - so you'll have a web viewer that renders all the brushes exactly as they are meant to look

Found this old TILT BRUSH VR doodle I did way back when. I miss the experimentation of the earlier days of VR. I think VR is an amazing CREATION tool, just no the consumption tool that most folks want.

Something we don't talk about enough is how you can use Open Brush without a headset. Whether it's just viewing sketches on a Mac, running scripts to automate tasks or making algorithmic art - it's really cool: docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/m... (And yes - I did say "on a Mac". Or a Steam Deck...)

If you want a private space, just pick a room name that is hard to guess. The room owner can mute, kick out set other users to "view only" mode. This release has support for paint and eraser tools in multiplayer. We will gradually add support for other tools and features over time.

One of the most interesting aspects of Open Brush plugins is they can work directly while you draw and change how the brush strokes are formed. You can create multiple strokes and plugins can access a lot of information about user input and other aspects of the scene.
