Dual handed painting.

Perhaps a way to turn off the pallete and use the other controller as a 2nd brush.

A static camera for snapshot please ! :D

Hello ! I am experimenting stuffs with particule systems based on openbrush sketches ! It would be great if I could take pictures directly inside Openbrush at the exact same position ^^ Maybe there is a way I don't know ? Thanks in advance !

Multiplayer - Support loading different sketches while in a multiplayer session

For multiplayer, it would be really nice if the room host could load any sketch they like while everyone is connected to the multiplayer room. The sketchbook button appears to be disabled while in multiplayer. To change the sketch, we both had to leave the room, I would load another sketch then re-join the room before they did, then they would join. It would be a much better user experience if different sketches could be loaded during a multiplayer session.

Saving menu panels

Hi, I use to add and move my menu panels everytime I launch openbrush. It only takes 30 seconds but I have to set everything everytime, even If I crash or have a bug. In this last cases, it's a bit frustrating so it can be very comfortable to users if there is a way to save the menu panels so we don't need to replace tiles....

Voice recording and keyboard input

It would be nice if one could like record his voice and place is as a speaker emoji in the room. Also also like keyboard and textboxes to input some text would be great.

Pyramid Guide

Som sort of flat triangle plane and triangle guides would be nice, like making the points of a fortress or castle. Also an auto fill option for guides would be nice. ...

[PLEASE READ] How to get your wishes granted more quickly

The best way to ensure we can deliver features more quickly is to help out. Currently almost nobody is pitching in and contributing. So - development is slow. Every hour we spend doing things other than coding is time lost. Developers shouldn't be spending their limited time writing tutorials, testing, answering community questions, doing social media etc etc. Other members of the community could be doing most of this. Please help if you can! Not sure how? See https://docs.openbrush.app/get-involved or just ask. 🙂 ...

Move the planet in the space environment

Hi, I know this isnt exactly a feature, but i really love the space environment except for the large planet that always ends up in the scene. sometimes ill move my entire drawing upwards to avoid this planet but sometimes thats not easy to do (when i also have camera paths to move for example)

Use the Passthrough Brush as a Boolean Tool Modifier for Export

Would be great to be able to use the passthrough brush as a boolean tool for export. Been doing some wild things with passthrough and will post more soon. Instead of exporting the brush strokes as a passthrough shader, the ability to toggle the strokes as a boolean would be awesome. More precise than the snip tool as well.

Enable/Disable Toggle in Camera Settings

Would be helpful if we could toggle whether reference photos are visible in the output camera when painting Live in VR or in Mixed Reality.

Passthrough Brush

Shapes XR and Figmin both have the ability to use a hull that makes things see through and is often used for the outline of a portal. To achieve the same effect in OB we have to use a png cutout or one with flipped normals. Using a brush that does this is pretty amazing.

Side by Side movie and photography support.

Nintendo 3DS is a very suitable gadget for viewing VR art. If the OpenBrush camera supports Side by Side stereoscopic photography (and movies), we will be able to enjoy it more easily.

Delete all but visible layers

I have a lot of issues with deleting layers as it is (sometimes the deleted layers reappear when I reload the sketch), when working with a file with over 100 layers it would be amazing if we could delete all but the layers we have on currently

Alignment tools to work with grouped items

Got super excited to use the new alignment tools until I realized it aligns every individual stroke 🫠 would love if it would align based on a grouped object

Multiplayer Passthrough/MR enabling

Okay update: I just spent extensive time with both OpenBrush and MultiBrush (paid app on the Meta Horizon store although it’s outdated, it’s still up) Overall OpenBrush's beta appears to be the best choice for co-op art, except for one important difference to me: Multibrush allows passthrough online co-op mixed reality. The OpenBrush beta doesn't allow 2 or more users to be in passthrough during live co-op gameplay whatsoever. Multibrush achieves the paradox by putting a virtual avatar of the other party in your passthrough surroundings, with no option for undo, and the home button recenters each person and can reposition their avatar in your mixed reality/passthrough world. At first I thought OpenBrush would handle the paradox similarly, or if not, then it would at least allow undo as an action. But it allows neither, unfortunately. So if two people want to co-op art but the passthrough is important for one or more players, then Multibrush seems to be the ideal solution for that specific use case....

Link between the skybox background and the orientation of the artwork

Currently, with the artwork displayed, the skybox orientation is fixed even if the viewpoint is rotated. It would be great if, when the viewpoint is rotated and the artwork and skybox are properly aligned, a checkbox such as “Link skybox and artwork” (or unfix skybox) could be checked so that when the viewpoint is rotated, the skybox also rotates with the artwork. It would be nice if the skybox could rotate with the artwork when the viewpoint is rotated....
