Is it possible it's the version of Open Brush I'm using? I use the github release on rift, so not the app from rift itself. Could that be causing issues?

(btw - this channel is for discussing icosa gallery - you probably wanted #general-questions or #bugs-and-issues )

andybak•3/7/23, 7:10 PM

When you say "Github release" - what do you mean exactly?

andybak•3/7/23, 7:11 PM

Do you mean the zip file from this page? https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/releases/tag/2.1.0

andybak•3/7/23, 7:12 PM

If so - you can just use the beta from the Oculus Store. It's the same.

Installing the Beta Release

andybak•3/7/23, 7:13 PM

In any case - if you ever are using a beta or an alternate build of any kind and you experience issues - switch back to the regular version to see if the problem goes away.

andybak•3/7/23, 7:13 PM

It's really useful information for us to help track down the cause.

Yes, the zip file from the releases page. I use the experimental brushes a lot and always assumed it wasn't available through the rift store version. Sorry I haven't been using the right forum. Will do in future. I will try the version from the rift store in next few days and let you know if it works or not. Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.

What’s the best fork of openbrush to be using? I currently have the one from the oculus rift store on my pcvr library.

Is it better to use the icosaGallery one from itchio?

I’m running into a problem where my app crashes while im working on my scene. Is there a way I can send a crash log to developers? sparklestars

andybak•3/12/23, 11:45 AM

Tim's right - this is the wrong channel (this channel is for discussions related to https://beta.icosa.gallery/ ).

Post to #bugs-and-issues about the crashing issue.

To briefly address your other question - the "best" version to use rather depends on you. Use the main Open Brush release or the beta unless you specifically want to use bleeding edge experimental features: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/

My apologies, I’m new to this community and didn’t understand what icosa gallery was.
Happy you posted a link to it! I registered an account. I’m gonna try to upload some of my scenes to there.

May I ask will my 3D imported models, 2d assets and .mp4 videos I’ve added to my scene all appear in icosa gallery?

Thanks for the help.
I will look into what version of openbrush is best for my use case.

I have not been able to get any of my .glb files to work on ICOSA yet :/

@mikesky - I'm seeing a console error in icosa-viewer.module.js

andybak•2/16/24, 8:26 AM

It's pretty inscrutable (at least to me)

andybak•2/16/24, 8:26 AM

@Mana

can you DM me the matching .tilt file?

Just sent you a DM!

andybak•2/19/24, 3:43 PM

@Mana

can confirm it's nothing you're doing wrong. Not sure what the problem is with that file.

andybak•2/19/24, 3:49 PM

@mikesky Blender and Icosa choke on that file but it loads fine into our Toolkit and into https://modelviewer.dev/editor/

andybak•2/19/24, 3:50 PM

Blender gives a more helpful error

andybak•2/19/24, 3:52 PM

@mana - the "stars" brush strokes around the middle of the flower - can you erase them or something to see if it fixes it? that's where Blender stops loading the scene.

Petra•3/28/24, 1:03 PM

Hi there, I tried uploading glb files to Icosa, but it only shows a black screen? What did I do wrong?

mikesky•3/28/24, 1:04 PM

@andybak correct me if i'm wrong, but you'll also need to upload the brush images that were alongside the glb as well

mikesky•3/28/24, 1:04 PM

it's a bug right now i'm afraid, working on it

andybak•3/28/24, 1:04 PM

Yes - you have to multiselect all the files in the glb folder. (you'll see an error after upload but you can ignore that)

Petra•3/28/24, 1:10 PM

Alright, I'll try again, thanks!

I couldn't figure out how to download it. Actually recorded one the other day, then waited about 30 hours for it to process.
Seemed there used to be a way. Maybe have to have a subscription?

James Tunick•8/12/24, 2:11 AM

Luma app for iPhone or droid allows video upload. Usually takes 5-10min to process. No subscription needed. Can view via their website & download, then load in Unity or Unreal via pluggin.

AncientWorlds•8/12/24, 8:51 AM

I'm on android. I was able to upload and process the video (currently takes 1-2 days if not a subscriber).
What I want to do, if possible is download the ply/splat/model whatever is produced.
I thought this used to be an option, but looks like can only download the video now?

AncientWorlds•8/12/24, 8:58 AM

Depends on what level of the creative process you want to work with. It costs a fortune and requires a huge number of people, typically to make a feature length film.
If my goal is to tell a story, then I'm perfectly happy editing clips together. People build scenes using models all the time, rather than painstakingly craft them piece by piece, because the emphasis of their interests is in the composition or final output rather than working out mesh topology for each one.

Also some people enjoy randomness. For those who are more commercially inclined it comes down to whether the client is willing to accept long turn around times and quality over speed.
Unfortunately this has adverse impacts on the industry. From a competitive lens it's obviously not a great situation for artists. From a purely creative lens, I can see why some people feel differently about it.

andybak•8/12/24, 9:37 AM

We're talking about creating gaussian splats from video - not generative AI. That's a separate debate and would belong in #offtopic anyway.

andybak•8/12/24, 9:39 AM

(but I'll just say that generative and procedural techniques have been part of art since the first cave painting used pigment blown through a straw - it's a difference in degree not in kind...)

only recently. before dream machine they were working on gaussian splats

andybak•8/12/24, 10:25 AM

(which is what we were talking about)

andybak•8/12/24, 10:27 AM

(which is AI - and to some degree "generative" but probably not what you mean by "generative AI")
