AIt might be possible to build something on top of Open Brush. What's tricky is extracting smaller parts of it. Have you looked at the API stuff? That is a good guide to how to activate specific bits of functionality outside of the main UI
NNot yet, but I'm going to look at API once I fix my environment
AThat stuff is hopefully going to be merged to main fairly soon: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/pull/198

Nwow...
C@andybak I just started playing with the "save selected strokes" & media library tools.
The unity scene that results when brought in via GLB doesn't contain the referenced models (they're just empty).
And the files that it spits out into the Media Library folder are .usd, which, I'm not sure if it's supported by the toolkit.
Let me know if you think this should work in theory, or if i'm barking up the wrong tree.
I'm going to see if there's a USD plugin I need in order to pull in the models first

Ahmmm. good point.
Mtiny nitpick (cc @nike61 ): it's
Adoh! i knew something felt wrong as i typed that
CThe tools, if they were to work would be SO handy
Ai think nobody thought of using those two features at the same time
Apersonally - i would like to replace the "save selected strokes" with a more flexible approach. at the moment the strokes become non-editable (coz they are .usd files)
AI'd rather get scene merging/additive loading working
Aand that is actually nearly done (but might have subtle bugs)
Cyeah that'd be ideal
CIn the meantime I can export each of my models as GLB and recombine it in unity using the Nulls as transform guides
Ai keep meaning to get back to the scene merging. if i'm lucky i might even have a build today. assuming my last fix worked
A(so - now I've jinxed it obviously!)
CMaybe scene merging will skyrocket the scene complexity as well though?
CIt sounds cool, I would use it today if I could
AOne of the things I'm stuck on is updating the tilt meter correctly
Abut there's also a note in the code from ages back saying "additive loading is buggy as it duplicates existing strokes" - i can't seem to see any evidence of that but i haven't tried too hard
Ai think even with bugs it's quite appealing. it might be "bearably buggy" and we can hide it behind a settings flag so normal users don't get tripped up by it
CI love reading all the little notes, it's like "this'd be a really cool feature if I ever got around to it"
Ayeah. check out the comments in the .tilt file loader. it's practically a history of development quirks and decisions
CIt's tricky that there's no way to tell if it was fixed and then that note wasn't deleted
AI tried a couple of ways to detect the extra strokes - but couldn't.
Athey weren't there on export, didn't seem to be in the unity scene. but i might have done something dumb
ACheck out this page: https://blog.google/products/google-ar-vr/paint-friends-tilt-brushs-latest-prototype-creations/
kinda makes you sad to think this code existed at some point but we won't ever get to see it

Tilt Brush is better with friends. Our multiplayer prototype lets you share ideas, draw, and create with others.
CIt's not a huge problem, as long as the merged thing has a unique parent in the hierarchy from the original
AI'd pay good money for a chance to look through the internal Google repo branches!
CGrouping and the breaking by colour tools in toolkit have been saving my life
CI just need something which breaks apart by individual strokes.
And one which resets the pivot of the group to the centroid, or the centroid + minimum bounds on the Y

Ai think someone did that once - i had a go at it and it didn't seem that hard
A(the split by strokes bit)
Athere's one place in the code where it decides how to split meshes on export
CYe I was playing with that, didn't get around to split strokes though, if it exists I'll take it!
Ado the exported meshes use submeshes? i guess not
Ablender must have a "split mesh into non-connected parts" feature?
Aat a certain point we have to accept we're not a mesh editing program and that "just use blender" is a valid workflow!
Aespecially as you can script/automate blender quite easily.
CYeah it's very common among all 3d packages, just trying to not jump into blender every time because I'm also iterating on the original scenes
Asomeone wrote a cool unity extension that allowed you to call blender commands from within the unity editor
Ait basically exported the mesh, called some blender python and reimported the mesh. it was quite extensible as well

OIf i export an object (eg an animal) piece by piece, but don’t move it, when I import all the pieces into unity, will they automatically reassemble themselves? As in they will be in the same position as when I exported them so i don’t have to try and reassemble them in unity (which I find too hard) - thank you!!
AWhy are you exporting piece by piece? Is it because you want to split the mesh in Unity? There might be better ways to do that.
Oi think so because otherwise i have to make sure i use diff brushes for all the different parts i wanna move? thanks
Oah ok
Oso its not efficient basically
Owhat would be a better way pls? thank you!
