Spatial proximity for audio/video
I'm curious if we have a mechanism for triggering a sound and/or video file based on proximity.
Contextually I'm thinking about experience mode, or whatever it woud be when a visitor can navigate a scene by flight or walking
An example might be a museum display where as a person approaches a painting embedded in the piece that this might activate the video frame or an audio description if its' an object or group...
Increase the brightness on the start screen
This has always been a bit dark, since TiltBrush, and think it may be helpful for the brightness to be turned up a bit. Will also help noobies who aren't yet aware of the lighting options in game.
Layer Transparency
Letting a layer be transparent would be helpful in refining and detailing a 3d sketch.
Animation Control, non-looping
Idea is to have a stop button on the animation tool (speed =0), so the object just stays put.
For instance I might want to have an object start at a location, go somewhere and stay there. (particularly useful since we cant really time animation paths well yet)
This would enable an object to move, but also be in a predictable location if the camera swings back around, which has uses. Also helpful for doing something like zooming a camera in on a video or image and then staying put instead of crawling forward. Currently you can go to .1 or similar, but not stop moving. ...

Prevent selecting camera path unless camera path panel is open
This makes sense. I just wonder if the camera path should be entirely invisible if the panel is closed.
Is it confusing for the user to have something visible that they can't select? Especially when combined with the inability to grab things not on the current layer (another separate request that I'm considering)
i.e.:...
The ability to access photos in game
It would be a great addition to be able to see and access photos and vids shot in game to use in another sketch on the fly instead of having to move the photos to the media library offline to use them in a sketch
spatial support
The ability to shoot spatial photos and videos as well as using them in game. Ability to use HEIC as well.
Improved Video panel controls
I'd like to see the speed icon, camera, control points to be only selectable if the icon is activated.
It's challenging to select the different elements on the timeline, particularly at the start of the path where they are all active and in the same place. This should limit issues with having a perfect line worked out and it getting bumped, dragged, or having to delete elements so you can access them. Additionally (advanced controls)...

Support export of Point Clouds
The current exporter doesn't include any 3d models in the exported file. A new exporter is being worked on but in my testing it doesn't handle point clouds. More investigation is needed but this is a place to record and discuss progress
ability to show openbrush models in augmented reality with marker based tracking
Currently using blink for this which is great but I fear they will not ever fully support OpenBrush except original tiltbrush brushes
Camera or hmd simulation
Suggestion for camera simulation mode which would help anyone wishing to use OB for XR design with specific headsets ie UX, menu or AR.
This could also help with performnce where an artist need to be able to see what area of their HMD matches the image on the PC screen or recording a tutorial and needing to know if the recording can see what the artist sees for instructional learning.
Doesnt have to mask out any painting that isnt in the safe zone, could just be a simple white box that appears in the hmd like a viewfinder on a camera ...
Remember the last setting
Consider adding a feature that will allow OB to remember settings accross settings.
This could be for colour pallet, spectator camera setup and left hand modules and their positioning?...
Model library hide or delete
Would be nice to have something like the three dots in the model library. Which would let you either hide a model or moves it to a different folder that doesn't get read into the media library
Would like that for brushes too
Probably with a "reset" tool which reimports everything to the main folder. Presumably goes in documents somewhere so you can manually move things if you prefer.
Would be a decent interim step before a file manager. ...
Rendering out 4K, 60fps videos WITHOUT quick-load?
Hi! I tried to ask this under general questions, but seems like the feature isn't available. If we could render out 4K 60fps videos WITHOUT quick-load, it would be really awesome for making small animated videos to show the world. Right now it's only omnidirectional videos that seem to have the NO QUICK-LOAD option. I currently need flat videos of the artworks being drawn for a project and it seems silly to screencap the process.
Sketch Shortcut
When saving a sketch the sketch que automatically goes back to page one. This is problematic when gathering older sketches (especially when you've got hundreds of pages of sketches), because as soon as you move it to the front of the line, you have to flip through all of the pages.
Suggest checking the last page number of the sketch you are about to save and tag that as a "jump to" page number on the sketch panel. If the game is freshly launched it should return to page one....
Merge geometry to texture parent object
Select initial object, then select subsequent objects in front to erase floating geometry and project it onto the parent object instead as a method of projection based texture painting. (ie. using tilt brush to paint the bricks on a brick wall, then using this function to reduce geometry use through projection of painted objects onto selected objects texture mapping)
Camera Paths for Animation (Replace Camera with Model or Group)
Camera paths are really useful for directing movement, speed, and angle. Basically everything needed for animation.
Since newGLB exports handle that in the hierarchy by default, it seems like it would be fairly easy (hopefully) to just have a button that let you attach an object (group, model, etc) to the path instead of the camera. Basically record the position, but the object moves along the timeline instead of the video camera.
The result should be able to import into blender or unity as an animation path.
Maybe change the camera icons color so it shows this represents an object instead while setting up the path.

Saving Custom Environments - e.g. “pistachio”
Once you spend some time getting the lights and backdrop colors the way you want.. it would great to be able to save that as an environment setting like “pistachio”. I find it sometimes easier to paint in the “black” environment, but would love to be able to go back and forth between sketching and final result or even just to have an environment you could reuse in other paintings.
This quest 2 bug makes for a great brush 🤔🤔
So one of the experimental 3D brushes doesn't work quite right on quest 2.
But the end result is actually quite interesting! Aside from the white flashes on screen and broken skybox, the brush now has this interesting property where anything behind the brush doesn't get rendered (it's kinda like the invisibility cloak from harry potter lol).
I think something like this can be quite useful as you can use it to clean edges or hide things from plain view....
Attach brushstrokes to animated mesh
I don't know how hard this would be to implement, but it would be amazing if it was possible to parent/attach strokes made in openbrush to an imported animated glb...for example, if you had a dragon glb that had a moving head, to be able to draw flames coming out of it's mouth with the fire brush, and then have that stay attached to the model as the head moved around. Knowing nothing about the development end of this I have no idea if that is hard to do or not, but just throught I'd add it to th...
