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

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!
Ahmmmm. we did do a bit of work on allow exports to split every stroke into a different mesh but it didn't get finished.
Ahowever - it's fairly easy to do that via Blender or Probuilder
ADo groups get preserved on export? that might be a good compromise.
Osorry theres a way to group strokes together whilst in open brush?
Oi did not know
Othanks!
OToggle Grouping for Selection
Combines the currently selected strokes into a single group. They will move and scale as one. You can ungroup them easily by clicking again.

Oohhh ive done this, did not imagine it would stay glued together after the export
Oi dont think it does personally
Obut not sure ive 'toggled'
Owill try it out
Othank you!
O(im not currently working on this btw have sort of resigned self to not splitting the mesh but will be so cool if i can work out how to :D)
ANo - I wasn't sure it did. I was asking.
ABut it would probably be a good feature to implement.
Oit would be so awesome!!!!!!
Owow
