option for spectator camera to lock in a scene position & scale 🔒🎥…..🌄

Id like to be able to have a spectator camera that I can place around like normal, but that when I scale myself down or move around it doesn’t default follow me and instead it’s as if I can get small and move around the view in 3D

option to hide all UI panels in spectator mode 🙈🫣

I use OB to do live performances and often the UI panels show up. I try to keep them out of my direct line of sight but they still come into view sometimes. I’d love for a setting so the audience getting HDMI projections don’t see the UI at all, and just see my drawing

ability to reorganize brushes to make flipping between favorites quicker/easier

Assuming this isn’t already in the beta, often the brushes I might want to flip between while sculpting in live performances or on my own, the brushes I want are on opposite sides of all the panels so I have to flip through and look instead of ideally being able to switch quick and easily

Ability to paint on the inverse side of a set of guides.

Could be useful for painting skyboxes or inside surfaces in general.

Blur/ vignette option for backgrounds

Along with the separation of color/brush strokes and png transparancy this option would be able to help create pictures/ videos gifs with depth in game. The camera now has the option to vignette/ blur for pics. If it is added to the skyboxes, people can create interesting depth effects.

The ability to select all by brush type or color

Ex. Use the pointer to select the brush stroke/color you want then have the ability where it selects all of the same type.

Transparency with the Camera tool

Would be a great feature to add to camera options to remove the OB background when taking photos of models to provide more options in post.

The ability to add an animation component in Unity as part of the SDK

There could be many uses for this:
Add an animated reveal for galleries etc with the ability to increase/decrease speed of the animation as well as a reversal of the animation Use the camera path animations in a project with the sketch Transfer standard animations from one sketch to another (similar to typical geonode animations where you can easily change parameters of X,Y,Z to a game object or part of one.)...

Improved UV coordinates for Hull brushes

@zandyxr has reported issues with some hull brush UV coords for some workflows.

Audio Reactivity on Quest and Pico

This is a great feature in Tilt Brush. Can Quest or Pico handle this? Any plans to add this feature back in?

Named Groups / Saved Selections

3ds max has always had a feature to quickly save the current selection to a list and give it a name. It's something you use all the time and it enables quite powerful workflows.

Export layer or group directly to models

When exporting out items that you plan to re-use (such as models/objects/collections of brush strokes) would be helpful for them to be moved to the models library (or one designed for that purpose). This would facilitate access, particularly on the quest where exported models have to be transferred in order to be usable

Grid Centering

Would also possibly be helpful if the grid was calculated using the mirror as a center point at the time of first usage of snap grid. As a user, I frequently adjust the mirror position before starting any work in order to align the height/background or position I'm working from

Grid scaling multiplier or slider

Grid scale defaults of .25 to 5 vary in usefulness depending on the current world scale. would be nice to be able to multiply or factor in world scale to get a wider range of grids....

Move teleport to quick selection

This often gets hit by accident in addition to the fly tool.

view only mode Icosa

The ability for an artist to have people view their sketches in app but not save or remix them. There are times when remixing is good but it should be up to the artist in permissions.

Add confirmation to delete files

It would be great to have a pop up asking if you’re sure if you want to delete files before deleting them. Hasn’t happened to me yet but it may save people some grief in losing a file by accident

"Clear text" button on keyboard UI

It would be a great addition to add an erase all button to the keyboard so you don’t have to delete the characters one at a time.

Position of arrow for sketch selection

Seems like within the past couple of months or so the arrow to turn the page to scroll through sketches is closer to the target for X, causing the panel to close instead of scroll. Would be good if the toggle for X to be slightly lower to prevent this.

Exporting Video on the Quest

OpenTilt might consider having your own camera built into the app. Then we could directly export our creations. As it is I use the Oculus Quest 2 external camera.
