So - as far as I can tell obj materials don't really support materials with reflection maps. Certainly the .mtl file doesn't mention reflectivity. Furthermore Gravity Sketch hasn't even set that material to be particularly shiny if I'm reading the numbers correctly.

Thanks for looking at the file.

MMister_Fonzie Thanks for looking at the file.

andybakOP•5/21/21, 4:40 PM

I'm still curious what would happen if you imported a file that did have a correctly set up material.

i'm going to try making a shiny sphere in blender and export it as an fbx

Mister_Fonzie•5/21/21, 5:05 PM

I'm really new to Blender, but I was thinking of trying the same thing.

Generally, if I use a model in OB, it's only been as an accent, so never really paid attention to materials.

andybakOP•5/21/21, 5:22 PM

Yeah. You can totally get shiny materials from imported models. It does also depend on the environment you pick inside Open Brush (they have different reflection maps)

andybakOP•5/21/21, 5:22 PM

but i got a shiny ball - saved in blender as a glb - showing reflections in Open Brush

Mister_Fonzie•5/21/21, 5:30 PM

That's great to know. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Much appreciated.

I believe gravity sketch uses vertex colors- not sure if roughness is included in that

Zandy•5/23/21, 6:24 PM

Good afternoon! Does anyone know how to fix the bokeh effect on vid or pics? I have FOV set to 100 and still have the issue

mikesky•5/23/21, 6:26 PM

I think that's all via the posteffects shader, which you can toggle in the config, it just breaks the preview on the camera right now

mikesky•5/23/21, 6:26 PM

If you have a camera path it's fine though, as you can just set up the path, quit, change the config, and run again and it'll still work

Zandy•5/23/21, 6:27 PM

Ok great, thanks @mikesky

Hey I have a Quest 2, I downloaded open brush in late April. I was able to mess around with it a few times without any problem. A little while later there was an update, then I haven’t been able to open it again. I’veuninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times. Any pointers on this? Thanks

mikeage•5/25/21, 1:33 AM

Are you using the version from App Lab or are you installing apks directly?

KyRyGuy93•5/25/21, 4:50 PM

From the App Lab

mikeage•5/25/21, 6:18 PM

interesting, I haven't seen that. When you say you can't open it.. what exactly happens? Do you see the initial splash screen, or does it just go back to the main Oculus home?

I did have something similar with a development build that I never found out what was happening... but seemed to be concurrent with my headset taking a rather long time to upgrade from v28 to v29. It sounds simple, but does a headset reboot help?

KyRyGuy93•5/25/21, 10:10 PM

When I try to launch the app it goes to an initial black screen flickers the boundary and then crashes and goes right back to the main home environment. I could see it having to do with the v28 to v29 mine took a while too I think. I have tried restarting the headset and no noticeable change. You don’t mean more than restarting right?

KyRyGuy93•5/25/21, 10:17 PM

I’ve made sure to try multiple guardian sizes too.

andybakOP•5/25/21, 10:25 PM

That's really odd. I can't think how it would work for other people but break so badly for you.

andybakOP•5/25/21, 10:25 PM

Have you tried an exorcism?

andybakOP•5/25/21, 10:26 PM

Other than "your Quest is broken" I can't think what would cause that. Do any other apps misbehave?

KyRyGuy93•5/25/21, 10:33 PM

Lol haven’t called the priest yet. Otherwise everything else is working fine. It does seem very odd. Well I’ll keep messing around with it and let you know if I find out the problem. Thanks for being responsive! I appreciate it.

andybakOP•5/25/21, 11:59 PM

wow. that's good to know. any idea what version of the oculus software you were on before?

KyRyGuy93•5/25/21, 11:59 PM

I do not. I just saw it and immediately clicked download and apply

mikeage•5/26/21, 12:40 AM

Thanks for the follow up. I have no idea what happened here, but I’m glad it’s working now! It sounds pretty similar to what I had... I wonder if there’s something wonky where they’ve done a partial upgrade and there’s some library laying around that’s not compatible with something else... but I have no idea

luchsarcana•5/31/21, 12:55 PM

Hi, sorry to disturb, but I need help. I just started with open brush on the valve index and I saw a video explaining how to add images into tilt brush and I was wondering how to do it with open brush since I can't find a media library in my folders. Any help is greatly appreciated, just know that I am a noob XD

mikesky•5/31/21, 2:12 PM

The folder will be called Open Brush instead of tilt brush, everything else will be the same! You need to run the program at least once to generate it, if it still isn’t there your antivirus might be blocking the program!

luchsarcana•5/31/21, 2:28 PM

running the program again fixed it ^.^ thanks ^.^

mikesky•6/2/21, 3:47 PM

...interesting

mikesky•6/2/21, 3:48 PM

how big is that glb?

mikesky•6/2/21, 3:48 PM

and how does it compare to the others?

Ozymandias•6/2/21, 3:49 PM

Ozymandias•6/2/21, 3:51 PM

Should I see what size the others glbs I imported in other projects were? Thanks!

Ozymandias•6/2/21, 3:51 PM

Omg im sorry they randomly just started working!

Ozymandias•6/2/21, 3:52 PM

Nvm thank you!

mikesky•6/2/21, 3:54 PM

No worries, glad they're sorted! Good to know it might be a potential issue we need to track later though

NLR•6/14/21, 2:02 PM

Hello everybody! I am new here, artist wanting to dive into VR Art. I would like to develop a feature for OpenBrush (I come from Web Dev originally).

Here it is:
I usually paint with my feet (with rollerblades on), so I would like to paint using body trackers (Vive Trackers (3.0)). Ideally a tool that activate painting with one or more trackers. I think this tool could be interesting for dancers, and have all kind of applications.

If anybody that already knows the codebase could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!

andybakOP•6/14/21, 3:16 PM

Great idea by the way. I can think of other uses. Another option is to use the API to create brush strokes based on input from another source - but built in tracker support would be better.

andybakOP•6/14/21, 3:16 PM

Probably already possible if you use the vr accessibility software I've forgotten the name of.

mikesky•6/14/21, 3:17 PM

I was thinking about this the other day, at least enabling dual-wielding somehow, trackers is a natural extension

mikesky•6/14/21, 3:17 PM

Aandybak Probably worth talking to @bill add he is refactoring input at the moment.

bill•6/14/21, 3:22 PM

Prob best to start an issue on GH as a request. My plate is full at the moment getting us into XR plug-ins and Vive. Once that is done we should be able to handle new devices more easily as it would be a new plugin. We could also abstract the input devices. Procedural or @andybak on skates. Just ideas but a possibility.

NLR•6/14/21, 3:35 PM

That would be great. How is your time frame looking for Vive plugins ? If it's short enough I should indeed wait for the refactoring to be completed.
