ZJust a heads up that the hulls do not have UVs thats why they do not bake properly in unity. You have to bring them into Blender or substance painter to create new ones for them to work.
MAh sorry, i mean when it comes into procreate do you use usdz or obj?
MGood to know 
Perhaps you might need another step in your pipeline for now, asset prep can be half the work sometimes

AI have never done this so I’ll do whichever works. We’ve primarily used the hull brushes so that’s probably bad news
AAnd I would say that the hulls lend themselves to procreate the best sooo…. 
MSo does it just fail to import if there's no UVs, even if they're blank? I'm surprised because procreate is kinda making it's own UV maps when you paint on the objects
MZandy's probably right, you may just need to do a bit of pre-processing first just to set them up. Will note this for pipeline improvements though, if that's something we can support our end!
AWould be fairly easy to add that to toolkit. I'm thinking of making that more like our general purpose "sketch post processing tool"
Bsorry if this has been raised before but i cant take screenshots. A black and white box will appear in the screenshot and also in the camera preview
B
Bif there a way to fix this?
Bim using quest 2 on applab
Bokay further details um it works again if i restart the app but i can only take one screenshot and i cant toggle to other modes (gif etc) before it bugs out again
Bthanks!!
MAh yeah I think this is known, and also happens in Tilt Brush interestingly! https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush/issues/61 hopefully a fix won’t be too hard

Reported by @daveaudio224on Discord: Running Open Brush on both App lab and sidequest on Quest 2 - there’s a glitch with the camera where it might take 1-2 pictures, but the camera viewfinder then ...
ZGood evening! Encountering bugs with snap to grid. It’s definitely off. It will snap only in one direction. If you look at the plane or object from a different viewpoint, it’s crooked. Had this issue even building and lining thing up manually. It’ll always be off. The only way to get it perfect is using two guides and snap to x and y, otherwise it’s like the leaning tower of Pisa in one direction.
E@Zandy sounds like you are trying to do something that would be better done in conventional CAD.
ZThanks @Evl_Stache Not interested in CAD. Prefer the painted organic look and feel. Painting architecture in VR is extremely meditative. Like in these: https://youtu.be/wsCo-UmUprE

Zandy XR's Demo Reel. Some of my favorite pieces created in Virtual Reality with TiltBrush.
E@Zandy fair call. could be good to have some base geometry to provide a base to paint over

ZFor me personally, it’s not the same….I see the advantages of cad programs and blender, etc for buildings but find it’s too clinical and loses the “emotion” that is put in a piece when you paint it organically. You miss the true texture and feel of a painted piece. It’s a completely different experience.
Eoh i get you i was more suggesting you could just have a reference cube you paint over that gives you height and square.
ZOpen Brush and TB have guides that you can use for that.
AThat's peculiar. I can't even imagine how that would be the case. Do you have any images that show the problem?
Z@andybak just sent a DM
ZIt seems to happen more when you add additional strokes to the scene after the initial one. Maybe it’s similar to when you paint multiple strokes on a guide and it moves as you add more strokes?
AI'm not exactly sure what you're doing - but you seem to be using angle snap with the straight edge tool? Angle snap is only really for duplicating selections. Grid Snap would be better for drawing exactly vertical or horizontal strokes.
ZUsed the angle tool to have a straight line to snap. It was used before the additions from OB. Thanks for the clarification on the new settings!
AAh. I've not actually investigated how the new angle snap works with the straight edge and the existing angle tool. (tbh I forgot the latter existed!)
ZNo worries! Will try again without the angle snap first and see if the issue persists with it.
MHello! Is there an FAQ for openbrush? I have some questions but don't want to spam with stuff that is already answered elsewhere. For example, does OpenBrush have LIV support?
MLol nevermind... just googled it

JRemind me how to download the beta version? Also, can I install in my gaming PC and play through Link cable? I assume, yes. 
JGot it! Never mind. 
ZRecent problem/bug exporting with experimentals. The newest steam version wont export fbx or glb, but if I open Andy's experimental build with the geo brushes V 1.0.86 it exports fine.
A- By "newest Steam version" - do you mean the beta or the main version?
- What happens when you try and export a glb or fbx? Error? Or it's just a broken file?
- Probably being a bit dim here but what is "experimental build with the geo brushes"? Can you post a link to the build you mean?
ZHey @andybak Steam Beta. It says failed to export FBX and GLB. Your personal experimental build with your geo brushes, that I think you put it together last spring.
ZI was able to export from the recent version of steam beta a couple of weeks ago with no problems. This happens with pieces I could previously export.
RIs there a colour picker for openbrush?
RLike select a colour I already used
RFor the quest app lab version
OHello- I have some very noonish questions. Context. Im on a quest 2. Sidequest on a mac. I haven’t been on a PC since dial up modems. At the most basic level Im trying to export the highest quality and most color accurate stills of the works created within Open Brush. I tried using snapshot through the labs panel but it was glitching with screen tears in the preview and also shows up like that when I view on my mac. Making a gif does work without tearing but is super low resolution. I can cast to my PC and then screen record the cast but it does not look anywhere near as high res as it does in the VR headset. - the color also feels a bit dead/flat. I have a quality monitor-Oddly I use to manage a 2D/3D production studio for extremely high end global marketing images. But I had a great IT dept! 
I may have done some damage by trying to side load as well as adjust setting in side quest but I think i returned all the settings to default and I don’t think my attempt to side load the SDK worked as I see no new brushes.
Im a bit of a disaster on this and ID be happy to support Open Brush with modest donations along the lines of any paid app. Many thanks in advance. I am extremely excited about using this software both in digital space and as a tool for my meat space art work.

MHi there! Yeah the glitchy camera on quest is a noted bug (and is present in Tilt Brush too!), you should be okay for a few shots if you don't change it to any other modes like the gif camera! It's definitely a bug that needs fixing though as it's quite easy to change camera modes
AI don’t think my attempt to side load the SDK worked as I see no new brushes.Depends which version you sideloaded. It's got to be the "experimental mode build": https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/main-experimental-build
The reason we haven't moved those brushes into the normal build is because they cause issues with exports. Once we sort that out we want to make (most of) them available in the regular version
AI may have done some damage by trying to side loadSideloading should never damage anything. I've usually got 6 different versions installed!
Whello! So awesome for the new release!!
just tried out the new experimental desktop version 1.0.0
looking good, great how the paint tools are in one place now !
I didn't quite understand how to use those lathe revolver features yet and I can't seem to notice much difference with the lazy input but maybe I am doing it wrong
But what I noticed is:
-I still get an error when exporting using the experimental brushes (in this case wind & smooth hull)
-when opening camera path tool the panel opens twice

A-I still get an error when exporting using the experimental brushes (in this case wind & smooth hull)Yep. That's why they are still only in the experimental mode build. The minute they work with export, we'll be moving them to the normal version
-when opening camera path tool the panel opens twiceyeah. I keep forgetting to look into that. It's only mildly annoying so I tend to forget about it fairly quickly
AI didn't quite understand how to use those lathe revolver features yet and I can't seem to notice much difference with the lazy input but maybe I am doing it wrongTook me a few goes. I got it in the end after watching the video several times and focusing on the right buttons to press. You'll know it when you get it as it's a totally different feature.
