Hey! So I just downloaded open brush and I'm having a problem. I get into the app but everything is black. I can only see the open brush controllers, I can move them around but pressing any buttons doesn't do anything. I've tried updating my video drivers but that didn't seem to fix it. Any ideas of what's going on? I'm using the steam version of the app and playing on the oculus rift s

I can't say I've heard of that before. You can try downloading the rift specific version directly from oculus (rather than Steam) if you'd like, but for more debugging help, we might need someone with a PCVR setup (I'm Quest only)

To be clear, this is the regular steam build? Not the "pre-release" channel or the "experimental" channel, right?

Jesse/Krashe•12/27/21, 5:15 PM

yes, and I just tried the version on the oculus store and it had the same problem

mikeage•12/27/21, 5:29 PM

Interesting. I know people are using the steam version (the rift specific build is a bit niche), but I'm afraid I can't offer any specific advice for you here.

andybak•12/27/21, 5:50 PM

I remember one other person reporting a similar issue and I can’t remember if they solved it. You haven’t got dual monitors or anything else out of the ordinary, have you?

Jesse/Krashe•12/27/21, 5:56 PM

Not at the moment, no

mikeage•12/27/21, 6:17 PM

There's this icosa-gallery-chat which is vaguely similar but jot really the same root cause, it'd appear

Jesse/Krashe•12/27/21, 7:02 PM

I think I remember actually having this problem before with tiltbrush, the way I fixed it was by using the previous build option in the steam beta options.

Jesse/Krashe•12/27/21, 7:03 PM

thing is I don't know what the difference between the two versions was so Idk if theres a way to use that to help fix the problem with openbrush

andybak•12/27/21, 7:24 PM

That sounds to me like there was a problem introduced in an older version of Tilt Brush that affects you (and very few other people unless we are just not hearing about it). The odds are that issue will be in all newer versions which would include every version of Open Brush.

andybak•12/27/21, 7:24 PM

So - unless we can figure out why this is affecting you, or some way to reproduce it on other computers then it's pretty tricky to resolve.

Jesse/Krashe•12/27/21, 7:28 PM

Hmm, when open tilt brush become open source, did its history also become available to the public? Maybe its possible to figure out what changed between the updated version and the build that works for me?

AncientWorlds•12/27/21, 9:48 PM

Is it possible that the mode didn't change in the build?
I get that issue if I don't switch the tab from console to game in unity.
My memory is a bit hazy, might also happen if I exit the game from inside rather than unity, or close steam and leave oculus open, would have to check.
Not sure if being in monoscopic or something similar would have the same effect?
Anyhow, potentially a sequencing error where it's not switching states properly?

Zandy•12/28/21, 1:20 PM

Is it possible to get the camera showing with post effects capture on false? One thing I miss with TB is the ability to capture clear videos without post effects.

mikesky•12/28/21, 3:50 PM

I know, it's a really annoying bug that we're still trying to figure out the 'correct' solution for

luckylou•12/31/21, 5:24 PM

Hi @andybak - answering your questions beginning with https://discord.com/channels/783806589991780412/805085605654429736/926453594230775879

The monoscopic view app on Mac has an export video to paths option but 1) I don't know how to properly set paths yet, 2) the interface is super clunky to manage, and 3) I set a couple random paths to test but then actually trying to export freezes the app.

You're right, Quest doesn't export video, and based on the Open Brush Trello, it's an acknowledged request but remains in that column, so I doubt it's anywhere in experimental builds.

My main need is a way to convey what the NFT art is in OpenSea beyond the wireframe-ish visuals provided by the default .glb file export I get from Open Brush on Quest 2. The monoscopic view app on macOS exports an Untitled.json file, and I've seen the Python scripts to use to convert to other formats but those aren't accepted on OpenSea so I haven't gone there.

Right now I'm just planning to use an animated gif for the thumbnail preview and use either a saved movie file from a Quest broadcast to Facebook Live or similar screencast session with a quick walkthrough of the piece as the actual NFT, with a property link to the .tilt file for the actual piece, OR just go with the wireframe-ish result of the .glb and add the linked .tilt as described before. Either way it's a very unfulfilling result. The art is really minimal so it relies on the shaders and brush effects for life.

luckylou•12/31/21, 5:40 PM

Is there any way to make the 5-second animated GIF not have to use all 5 seconds?

andybak•12/31/21, 5:43 PM

and based on the Open Brush Trello, it's an acknowledged request but remains in that column, so I doubt it's anywhere in experimental builds.

Ah. This is super confusing. "Experimental mode builds" are different to "experimental builds": https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/main-experimental-build

"Experimental Mode" Builds - Open Brush Docs

andybak•12/31/21, 5:45 PM

Experimental mode predates open brush - it's something we discovered in the codebase when it was open sourced and we plan to get rid of it eventually. But there's some features that were developed and never released and some PC only features are sometimes available - My original comment was wondering if "camera paths on the Quest" was in the latter category.

I'm guessing if you can get it to convert to fbx it should be fine. I played around a little bit when it was first released, but that was quite some time ago

just a guess. Has been a couple of years, it's probably changed a lot. Used to just take a figure and weight it, used either obj or fbx, maybe both

Hello good people.
A few days in a row I am trying to use open-brush-toolkit in unity. I tried tilt-brush-toolkit before, and it worked, but I was unable to export because of some incompatibility with the microphone so I searched for the newest .unitypackage and I found open-brush-toolkit.
Now I am trying to import
into (LTS)
When I import that package into a newly created project, I get 127 errors.
I tried to google a few of them but I am lost. I am probably doing some mistake that would be obvious for you at first glance, but I can't see it. Can anyone help me please? :LofiGirlPleading:

andybak•1/7/22, 2:12 PM

Hmmm. We removed JSON.Net from the package because it's included by default in 2020 and 2021 projects. Is this a new blank project or an older project you've updated to Unity 2020? Have you removed any packages from package manager?

Chlpáč•1/7/22, 2:16 PM

I created a fresh new project in 2020.1.6f1 and then double-clicked .unitypackage and imported it. Might there be something wrong with my unity installation?
