Hello✌️! A few days ago, while I was working on a project, I was surprised to build a Torus (donut)

Hello

!

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

Teaching Tilt Brush: More Controller Tricks

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...

Will hopefully soon have an easier way to do that via shape plugins

andybak•12/17/21, 2:47 PM

There'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

Definitely yes! Thanks a lot @andybak

AAncientWorlds I think that would depend on your system. I periodically move them to make room...

Oh ok I'll look into that. Thanks for helping me out! In future I'll make sure to specify the hardware in my question

Aandybak You could try putting them back to see if the problem reoccurs?

othervrbarry•12/17/21, 7:42 PM

I'll give that a try at some point and let you know. I'm just glad it's working again. I use it everyday to make art. Thanks for helping me! In future I'll specify the hardware in my question

andybak•12/17/21, 7:43 PM

My hunch would be that it's unlikely too many files would cause that - but you never know! At least it's working.

I managed it with the capsule guide by straight edge drawing from the center, gesturing over the end (the top or bottom) and moving my hand back to the center again

In recent-ish beta versions (sorry I'm unsure which or what platforms) the "detail rendering" quality slider in extras has changed and become less useful for me - how have others found it?
I was wondering what the goal is with that change, whether it's a bug or temporary or more of a permanent thing?
Colloquially, the naming method has changed from "graph calculator" to GPU 1, 2 etc. But the qualitative difference is that they have less dynamic range than they used to have, specifically no unlit option.

andybak•12/18/21, 8:27 AM

That's odd. I don't recall any changes to that.

andybak•12/18/21, 12:46 PM

Do you mean this in Settings?

andybak•12/18/21, 12:46 PM

This is "Extras":

andybak•12/18/21, 12:47 PM

I might be missing something obvious - I don't use this side of things much and I haven't looked at the code. Where exactly is "detail rendering"?

chard•12/18/21, 12:49 PM

@andybak yep that's the one!

andybak•12/18/21, 12:50 PM

that has never changed to my knowledge

chard•12/18/21, 12:50 PM

Okay I'll see if I can track it down.
If it hasn't changed then no problem :)

andybak•12/18/21, 12:51 PM

i can't see any mention of "graph calculator" or "gpu"?

chard•12/18/21, 12:53 PM

I could have been conflating it with multibrush tbh, I'll have to look into it.

andybak•12/18/21, 12:54 PM

Ah. We seem to be using the names set globally in Unity

andybak•12/18/21, 12:54 PM

andybak•12/18/21, 12:54 PM

so - it seems to have a different list for Desktop and Android

andybak•12/18/21, 12:55 PM

that's probably where the change you see comes from

andybak•12/18/21, 12:55 PM

Well. I've learned something new today!

chard•12/18/21, 12:56 PM

Yeah that's the one

chard•12/18/21, 12:56 PM

The "creative" options for rendering & lighting are different on Android and pc

chard•12/18/21, 12:57 PM

Specifically, unlit graphing calculator isn't available

andybak•12/18/21, 12:57 PM

interesting. on mobile that slider shouldn't even be there

andybak•12/18/21, 12:57 PM

are you using an experimental build?

chard•12/18/21, 12:58 PM

And the high-end rendering modes make a little less sense from a naming perspective

Aandybak are you using an experimental build?

chard•12/18/21, 12:58 PM

Yep

andybak•12/18/21, 12:58 PM

i think that overrides the panel selection. i.e. it shows desktop panels and ignores the mobile ones

andybak•12/18/21, 12:58 PM

so the short answer is "you shouldn't even see that slider on mobile"

andybak•12/18/21, 12:58 PM

andybak•12/18/21, 12:58 PM

that's the mobile one for regular builds

andybak•12/18/21, 12:59 PM

we inherited the experimental build. we're going to ditch it eventually and either fold features in to the regular build or remove them

andybak•12/18/21, 1:00 PM

but we haven't really touched it much in detail beyond documenting a few aspects

Aandybak that's the mobile one for regular builds

chard•12/18/21, 1:00 PM

Yeah I think I met it first on multibrush and assumed it was on Android OB

andybak•12/18/21, 1:00 PM

there's some weird stuff active in experimental mode

andybak•12/18/21, 1:01 PM

kinda crazy that Multibrush just dumped it out there considering their intended audience was Seniors!

chard•12/18/21, 1:01 PM

Anyway, it's a really nice feature for tweaking your rendering options in real-time

andybak•12/18/21, 1:02 PM

Yeah. When we come around to removing experimental mode, we'd have to reexamine the quality settings and see if they make sense

chard•12/18/21, 1:02 PM

Just a bit of UX weirdness between versions there with naming and options

andybak•12/18/21, 1:02 PM

the reason we want to get rid of experimental builds is because it's really confusing!

andybak•12/18/21, 1:02 PM

"do you want the beta experimental or non-experimental?"

andybak•12/18/21, 1:02 PM

i mean - wat!?

chard•12/18/21, 1:50 PM

From a user perspective, what it's offering is choice over rendering aesthetic - whether I want sunlight & shadows on turned on, and whether the brushes are detailed or flat (which comes from the normal maps).

The actual rendering implications and terminology behind that are less important, which is why silly names like graphing calculator actually kinda work.

Hi Everyone ! I don't know if it's the best place to ask, but I would like to ask Quest users to try to import mp4 videos, 'cos it seems Oculus somehow messed up the mp4 playback in some of the newer firmware updates, - so neither OpenBrush (experimental or not) nor the original TiltBrush can play videos anymore on my Quest1 /says "cannot open video" in the import tab/ , (also seems the OculusTV, Video whatever is a bugfest sometimes.)

Deleted User•12/18/21, 5:09 PM

Btw the latest experimental build with the snap tools and the lazy mode is a blast, - really-really helpful ! Thx!

PurpleBionicle•12/18/21, 7:47 PM

could someone help me with trying to trying to import reference 3d models?

PurpleBionicle•12/18/21, 7:48 PM

if anyone knows about stud.io, my goal is to get a model from there into open brush
