Open Brush, Open Blocks, Icosa Gallery•5y ago

Hello all! Apologies for my noob questions… I’m an Art teacher in the USA with three Oculus Quest 2s

Hello all! Apologies for my noob questions… I’m an Art teacher in the USA with three Oculus Quest 2s.

We’ve been using Open Brush that was installed with SideQuest. It’s going great with the students but I’d like to add the ReBrush tool.

Please help me to update/install the version that includes this tool.

Depends how you installed it. I'd presume you went Sidequest > Oculus store and ended up here:

andyleoOP•12/9/21, 3:07 PM

Correct

andybak•12/9/21, 3:07 PM

In which case - you can change to the beta on that page:

andybak•12/9/21, 3:08 PM

Be aware that we haven't tested the beta fully yet - it's still unannounced and we're clearing up some obvious bugs

andybak•12/9/21, 3:08 PM

but switching back to the main version is easy

andybak•12/9/21, 3:09 PM

you can visit that link on any computer logged in to the same account you've linked to the Quests

Aandybak but switching back to the main version is easy

andyleoOP•12/9/21, 3:09 PM

Easy enough. I see that. Any chance of losing the existing artwork that is saved locally?

andybak•12/9/21, 3:09 PM

doesn't have be done on the quest itself

andybak•12/9/21, 3:09 PM

it's unlikely but never say never.

andybak•12/9/21, 3:09 PM

back up regularly - especially if you use prerelease software

andyleoOP•12/9/21, 3:15 PM

Wow. Done. I can’t believe how easy that was. Thanks so much!!!

andyleoOP•12/9/21, 3:21 PM

Okaaayyyy. Seeing as how easy that was...

Is it possible to run multiplayer in OB. I’ve used MultiBrush, but I’d love to be able to have it all in one app.

Also MB has a ton of cool experimental brushes, can I get those in OB??

andybak•12/9/21, 3:24 PM

We haven't implemented Multiplayer yet

andybak•12/9/21, 3:25 PM

Also MB has a ton of cool experimental brushes, can I get those in OB??

They are available in the experimental build - which is a bit more fiddly to install. You'd need to sideload: https://uploadvr.com/sideloading-quest-how-to/

We're looking at adding some of the more stable experimental brushes to the main build, but we want to ensure proper support for them first, and artists using them in their pipelines and elsewhere!

GGildas I have done a video

andybak•12/9/21, 3:28 PM

@AncientWorlds - have you ever recorded video directly out of Unity?

andybak•12/9/21, 3:28 PM

and @Gildas - any new errors in the console when you start trying to record?

Aandybak and @Gildas - any new errors in the console when you start trying to record?

Gildas•12/9/21, 3:30 PM

I don't use unity to lunch the app, I build and I execute the app, then I try record path. After build I have new errors

Gildas•12/9/21, 3:30 PM

I post them ?

andybak•12/9/21, 3:30 PM

Can you try recording directly in Unity? There should be no reason to do a build for most things

andybak•12/9/21, 3:31 PM

and it will be easier to debug

Gildas•12/9/21, 3:31 PM

ok I will try

GGildas ok I will try

andybak•12/9/21, 3:32 PM

I just tried and it's working for me

andybak•12/9/21, 3:32 PM

directly out of unity

Gildas•12/9/21, 3:33 PM

you try with a new value of "static public float kMinSpeed" ?

GGildas you try with a new value of "static public float kMinSpeed" ?

andybak•12/9/21, 3:39 PM

yep. still works

Gildas•12/9/21, 3:39 PM

Gildas•12/9/21, 3:41 PM

what minimum value did you set?

andybak•12/9/21, 3:42 PM

static public float kMinSpeed = 0.001f;

Aandybak back up regularly - especially if you use prerelease software

andyleoOP•12/9/21, 4:03 PM

The beta seems to have broken the Google Drive backup

andybak•12/9/21, 4:08 PM

i think we might have a fix for that. can you backup manually for now? or just roll back to the main version

andybak•12/9/21, 4:08 PM

might be fixed soon but don't rely on it

andybak•12/9/21, 4:09 PM

(i.e. today/tomorrow soon)

andyleoOP•12/9/21, 4:18 PM

I went back to the main version. I need Google drive more than the rebrush

Aandybak directly out of unity

Gildas•12/9/21, 4:18 PM

Ok it works for me also direct in Unity ! It's cool. Thank you

Aandyleo I went back to the main version. I need Google drive more than the rebrush

andybak•12/9/21, 4:21 PM

well - you provided a valuable service. thank you for testing the beta!

andybak•12/9/21, 4:21 PM

i'll let you know when that's fixed

Aandybak @AncientWorlds - have you ever recorded video directly out of Unity?

AncientWorlds•12/9/21, 10:03 PM

Haven't tried recording out of unity. Would have to find out what the process is. Is there a good guide to this somewhere?
Let my controllers cure overnight, a bit afraid to test them and see if I permanently broke them.
Suppose I need to confront that fear. Spent some quality time with the ipad yesterday, instead.

The Unity Recorder package is really solid

AAncientWorlds Thanks. Time to learn it, I suppose 🙂

It's all WYSYG and quite straightforward. It's nice to use in combination with Timeline as well if you want to go down that route.

AncientWorlds•12/11/21, 4:26 AM

Looked at it last night, hurt my head a bit. Was definitely more in my right brain last night though.
I know almost nothing about the animation side of unity, or the highly specific openbrush brush tools area, for that matter.
Really feeling a strong pull towards doing art right now, spent a lot of time with brushes, want to play with them
That should pass in a couple of days and I'll see if all this camera business makes more sense then

Dongsugi•12/11/21, 5:43 AM

Do you know why?

Dongsugi•12/11/21, 5:45 AM

Logging out and logging back in solved the problem.

Thanks for the report!

PurpleBionicle•12/11/21, 12:04 PM

is there a way to collaborate on projects with other people over the internet?

PurpleBionicle•12/11/21, 12:07 PM

I found something called multibrush but it looks different
