OI 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

AIn which case use Lachlan's tutorial: https://lachlansleight.medium.com/customizing-tilt-brush-6e9a63bd5425
Ait'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
Othanks a lot!!!!
Osorry 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?
Osorry hope its ok im asking all these questions, thanks for taking the time to engage
AIf you make a custom brush using Lachlan's method, then getting it out of Open Brush is tricky
AI think getting it into Unity SDK/Toolkit is probably ok
Abut any exports to GLTF, FBX etc might be difficult
Ooh i see what u mean, you mean if i used the brush, i could not 'see' it easily in another app
Othanks
Akinda depends on the brush
Owhen 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?
Ooh 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)
O(thank you!)
AI'm sorry - I'm slightly confused by that question!
A'powered by tiltbrush' is just giving a credit to the original app
Oi just was asking like, what was meant by 'powered by tiltbrush' - oh great!!!
Ounderstood
Oi thought it was like a product
Olike tiltbrush was a feature
O'this app contains a tiltbrush'
Othanks for taking the time to explain
Oalso im really sorry if ive spoken about it in the wrong way!! i do not at all meant to be disrespectful!!!!!
Aof course not!
AI just assumed everyone had heard of Tilt Brush
AWe're the new upstarts. They are the vintage classic 
Oi had but i thought it was like a unique tilting motion for the controllers
Oand i guess i didnt notice the 'powered by tiltbrush' before
Ooh yes it was revolutionary
Ofor art
Mok, so that's the Rift build. We probably need a better way to ask people who use a Quest if they're actually using it as a Quest, or tethered as a Rift 
You can get the Rift build from Oculus as well, and opt in to the beta channel.
@andybak , I wanted to make sure you see this.

AYeah. I've never found a simple way to ask that question. "Are you running on a Quest standalone or VR connected to a PC?" is that unambiguous enough?
ASo to respond to @othervrbarry I guess we need to check the latest Rift build from the website to see if it works. Can't remember if I've specifically tested the Rift experimental version.
APoll:
- use standalone
- use wired
- use airlink
- use (whatever the other wireless method is...can't recall off the top of my head...)
- Only use rift
- Only use vive
- Use other headset
then you get specific answers and can summarize 1 or 2-4, and pick up data on the ratio of headset vs quest users and avoid confusion in that area.
if it's just in a quest users group somewhere, then can probably go with 1-4
OI reinstalled it and it now seems to work. However, before reinstalling, I transferred all files from documents to other folders, and erased the documents folders so that the program would be completely fresh. I had had over 220 sketches, 500 videos, and about 700 pictures in there. Could the number of files have been causing issues?
AYou could try putting them back to see if the problem reoccurs?
AI think that would depend on your system. I periodically move them to make room.
Generally the impact is slower load/access times or just taking too long to get to the pictures I need.
Would be nice to have a way to rename the default name for the new sketch or untitled when you do this to prevent duplicate names of different files.
You can work around that with a tool that can do bulk renaming, like irfanview,
but would prefer not to take that route because I sometimes forget, and so the videos/image/files match when I'm trying to locate a sketch

ZOhhhhhh @andybak saw the merge on export option! Is it really what I think it is?
AExport?
ZYes
ZThe 3 dots next to the sketch on load
AThat would be "import" if anything! But we're naming it "Merge brushstrokes": https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/open-brush-beta-docs#_u3ptgwey7elf
A(just noticed that's not the wording I used in the preliminary docs. Oh well!)
MHello
!
A few days ago, while I was working on a project, I was surprised to build a Torus (donut) with a gesture meanwhile using the Straight Edge tool.
It happened suddenly and I have no idea how I got there as I didn't know open brush had that feature
But no matter gesture I tried after, I was not able to reproduce it again.
Does someone knows that trick?
Are there other geometric forms available with gestures?
I am using a HP Reverb G2
Thanks

Tilt Brush Tutorial! We are looking at more advanced uses of the controllers in Tilt Brush, Google's virtual reality art program. We can customize the panels, get more out of the Color Palette and make perfect circles and spheres without a guide. Think of this as an online digital art class! This is a series of free tutorials to teach the basic...
AWill hopefully soon have an easier way to do that via shape plugins
AThere's also a feature coming in the new beta that might be of interest: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/open-brush-beta-docs#_4u7pybbggg1h
