So I've been meaning to do a update to Latk where it can store transforms per layer
So I've been meaning to do a update to Latk where it can store transforms per layer
NBy adding a transform block to any frame on that layer
NSo that would work right?
NAn Latk file with two layers
NOne with a single frame for the artwork, and one with a frame for each camera keyframe
NI also wonder how will we deal with time here
NWe could add a timestamp field to the transform block
NAnd the reading program could attempt to create a keyframe at that clock time on the current timeline, no matter what the frame rate
NCome think of it, that's a good field to add at the frame level
NTimestamp and duration, for use as overrides; without that information it just follows the global framerate
Ai might be misunderstanding you but camera path is just points.
Aa single bezier with metadata at each control point
NNot sure how to represent bezier curves in the json but open to suggestions
NLike, what fields do we need
ZWould love to have the ability to save imported models to a sketch so if you delete imported models in your models folder it will always be a child of the sketch itself by importing it to the sketch file. I had a couple of pieces I did where I deleted the models in the folder and now would have to find and reimport for them to show up in the sketch.
AI can't remember - does it load models if they are in the same folder as the .tilt file itself? That might be a good compromise. We could automate moving stuff into a subfolder (bit like Quark's "collect" option if anyone is old enough to remember that)
ZRight now it just loads from the models folder. So any model that is in a sketch from that folder gets deleted from your sketch as well if it's removed from the source folder.
ZTo be able to package it together would be extremely helpful.
ZIt does this in adobe medium for example. If you import a model into your scene, it keeps it with the original one. It is never separate.
ZSo ultimately if we are able to pull it into a sketch it becomes part of the file.
MI believe Tim was talking about this as part of the user made brushes, how it would be good to package up. Can definitely see the use! 
VHey everyone! Not so long ago i saw on a post on tweeter i think by @andybak, where 3D objects could behave like guides. I just was actually waiting for this feature for years. May i ask what about it and is it possible to test?
AIt's slightly limited. Convex shapes only (because I'm using Unity mesh colliders). It was really just a quick side-effect of other stuff I was doing so I thought "yeah. why not".
ADoes that still work for you? It's on this branch: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/3d-shapes (although I will shortly be moving where in the UI it lives after getting some feedback)
VYeah, that one is last on my list. It works well
AWhat do you mean by "last on your list"?
VYesterday i told on ot support and bugs channel that i made a list of all OB versions i have with statistics of number of features for myself. You asked if i can share this, so i organized it google sheets and this version is the last there..yet
AAh yes! I didn't realise that was also you.
AI have a short memory on Discord
Ain fact - I need to reply to your last comment there...
Jgltf import would be nice, is there a reason why model-import is limited to obj only?
AIt's not:
AAlthough the current GLTF importer is quite limited we've got a replacement in progress. You can try a test build: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/actions/runs/3135128090

Jwill do, thx!
AUnless I'm the only one with this problem, I would like to see a better way to unpin things. Very hard to get rid of them sometimes, especially if the pin fades in and out. Maybe if the cancel pin intersects with the object/group that's pinned, rather than whatever it does now?
S@andybak not sure if youve seen this for multiplayer https://normcore.io/
The best multiplayer plugin for Unity. Add multiplayer to any Unity app, scale automatically.
MAs it's closed source, we can't use it unfortunately
SI think ive mentioned this to @andybak before but would be amazing to consider if openbrush can incorporate some more cinematography features into the camera tool. This would mean we can offer film makers the option to use open brush as a previs tool - heres a unity blog with some points https://www.vfxvoice.com/instant-feedback-expozure-expands-its-virtual-toolset/

In today's tutorial I'm showing you the options of the camera gadget and how to create a cutscene, camera paths or dollyshot in Dreams on a Playstation 4! In this I'll also explain some logic and give you some tips and tricks on the way as always.
A lot of effort went into this video so I would be thankful for any kind of support, share it with ...

SDoesnt have to be over complicated - simple steps like being able to change Focus, fov and scene brightness.
ADreams is incredible (I bought a PSVR just to play with it!)
ABut I find the UI really overwhelming.
SI agree, same with Quill and AnimVR - Not a case study in UI but more of a example of cinematic camera moves
AAbility to bundle supporting elements (photos and videos) so they stay with the piece, maybe in a second folder where they can manually added or
ZJust requested this recently as well. Would be super helpful for models as well. Once they are deleted from the folder their gone from the painting.
AYep. I agree this is a useful feature. Probably do this in two stages:
Step 1: The option to copy models to a subfolder of the sketch
Step 2: Add the option to embed the models in the .tilt file itself.

AWondering if these options are common enough to need to be in the UI - or whether adding a config file setting is enough?
A(bearing in mind we eventually want all config file settings to be available in the UI)
ZHonestly think a lot of people would use this! The UI integration would be amazing.
ZAlong with the ability to name and retake picture for the sketch file (please. 
)
)MI think @Tim A was super interested in seeing this too - it’ll also be important when we have custom brushes
