Hi please may I request a screen recording of someone opening an experimental version of open brush, editing/ making a brush, and then testing it in VR?

I totally understand if this is not possible atm!! Thank you so much

can i pls ask if i wanna pick up these orange spaghetti strands and for them behave like ropes, or writhe around and stuff, would you have a suggestion about that- im not using styly so i can use code etc - like can i make the object malleable, like transform into a material that behaves like a rope/ snake or do i need to rig it first? Thank you so much!

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:46 PM

this is so awesome thank you

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:47 PM

i actually meant an even more beginner friendly thing as to like how to access this runtime brush editing version? but also i want to ask pls you say 'if i can just animate this [slug brush] i will have something truly repulsive'- so thats actually what im hoping to do with the spaghettis

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:48 PM

like if you fling the brush it sends a wave down the brush

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:48 PM

but yeah this runtime brush editing would be a great start for me re making my own brushes thanks a lot

andybak•12/16/21, 5:49 PM

Are you asking for a tutorial on how to access this experimental build?

Aandybak Are you asking for a tutorial on how to access this experimental build?

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:50 PM

yes please! even a screen recording, but a tutorial would be amazing!! but assume that would take ages

andybak•12/16/21, 5:53 PM

I'm not offering (yet) - I'm trying to understand what you want

andybak•12/16/21, 5:54 PM

Are you just asking for yourself? i.e. you want to run the User Brushes branch and you need help?

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:54 PM

ofc ofc i imagine it would take ages-+ energy i have no expectations!

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:54 PM

yes i would like to have one pls

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:54 PM

but i mean im sure other ppl would find it useful (?)

OOzymandias but i mean im sure other ppl would find it useful (?)

andybak•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

have one what? i'm still not clear

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

a tutorial

andybak•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

I can help you download it. it's not hard

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

ok then great!

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

thanks

OOzymandias ok then great!

andybak•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

what headset?

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

oculus quest

andybak•12/16/21, 5:56 PM

ah.

andybak•12/16/21, 5:57 PM

that feature is broken on the quest

andybak•12/16/21, 5:57 PM

so you're out of luck

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:57 PM

oh well atleast its not hard to access the github etc so i can request for help on here when i do that

andybak•12/16/21, 5:57 PM

@Luna is going to be taking a look soon though

andybak•12/16/21, 5:58 PM

@Ozymandias just to be clear - you're asking specifically about the feature where you can create custom brushes inside the app - yes?

andybak•12/16/21, 5:58 PM

not just custom brushes in general (i.e. making them in Unity)

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:58 PM

im more interested in them in general

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:59 PM

but when you said you had a tutorial already re the in-app editing...i mean it would be interesting to learn that too-

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 5:59 PM

but definitely more interested in learning the full process of making a brush in unity

Aandybak (Mikeage makes a good point though - it's quicker and easier to install from App...

othervrbarry•12/16/21, 6:00 PM

I use the Quest 2 tethered, which is the rift link, so I've been using the experimental rift package, which has been fantastic so far. I couldn't go back to the regular version now

Mmikeage Absolutely, yes. Itch can autoupdate, Steam and Oculus do auto-update, but Githu...

In which case use Lachlan's tutorial: https://lachlansleight.medium.com/customizing-tilt-brush-6e9a63bd5425

Medium

Customizing Tilt Brush

Part One — Introduction and Custom Brushes

andybak•12/16/21, 6:03 PM

it's still current but in general we don't recommend making custom brushes in Unity as we will probably never support exporting them to other apps. So unless you can do that manually yourself you'll be stuck

Aandybak In which case use Lachlan's tutorial: https://lachlansleight.medium.com/customiz...

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:06 PM

thanks a lot!!!!

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:15 PM

sorry what do you mean by other apps? do you mean making a brush and putting it into open brush to use or do you mean taking a brush and using it in a different game?

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

sorry hope its ok im asking all these questions, thanks for taking the time to engage

OOzymandias sorry what do you mean by other apps? do you mean making a brush and putting it ...

andybak•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

If you make a custom brush using Lachlan's method, then getting it out of Open Brush is tricky

andybak•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

I think getting it into Unity SDK/Toolkit is probably ok

andybak•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

but any exports to GLTF, FBX etc might be difficult

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

oh i see what u mean, you mean if i used the brush, i could not 'see' it easily in another app

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

thanks

andybak•12/16/21, 6:16 PM

kinda depends on the brush

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:18 PM

when i login to open brush it says 'powered by tiltbrush' which makes me think tiltbrush is the way we move the controller around and 'paint'- can i pls ask if this is correct?

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:19 PM

oh i guess what makes open brush unique is the beauty of the brushes actually? the painting motion is in other apps as far as i understand, unless open brush as a differentiated painting motion so that motions are captured in a unique way or something? (pls may i ask)

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:20 PM

(thank you!)

andybak•12/16/21, 6:22 PM

I'm sorry - I'm slightly confused by that question!

andybak•12/16/21, 6:22 PM

'powered by tiltbrush' is just giving a credit to the original app

OzymandiasOP•12/16/21, 6:23 PM

i just was asking like, what was meant by 'powered by tiltbrush' - oh great!!!
