hello! 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

-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 twice

yeah. I keep forgetting to look into that. It's only mildly annoying so I tend to forget about it fairly quickly

Took 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.

How does that work? Do you cycle through on device somehow? Truthfully im ok with the regular brushes. My single biggest concern is how do i maximize resolution and color accuracy like what i see in headset? Is this all best achieved via export vs camera? And thank you so much.

You can sideload multiple versions to the Quest and they all appear under "Unknown Sources"

Others can advise better than me. Did you try the offline rendering I linked to the docs for?

Does Open Brush SDK support Web GL? Trying to submit a world for Mona but it seems that the SDK doesn't work for that. Running 2020.3.18.f1 It says it's got obsolete apis?

Zandy•1/29/22, 9:28 PM

I can always use other shaders but as you know it isn't the same.

Depends exactly what you mean. I'd need to know what Mona was and what the precise requirements are.

I'm going to have to follow that tutorial myself to understand how (or if) Open Brush stuff would work with it. Just want to check that's what you're doing so I can do the same thing.

andybak•1/30/22, 10:57 AM

(also - do you have any contacts inside Mona? It would be great to get them involved as in some cases it's easier if they change things on their end to work with us - and the odds are they have more resources than we do!)

andybak•1/30/22, 11:00 AM

And one more question. Which version of the Open Brush SDK/Toolkit did you use? There are two versions on the downloads page

Zandy•1/30/22, 12:23 PM

Of course I followed instructions, Andy. I tried all 3 SDKs TBT, TBT Beta with experimentals and Open Brush SDK. The error is obsolete api. It would cause unity to go in safe mode and playground files for web gl wouldn’t be generated. Once I deleted TBT and used different shaders it worked.

Zandy•1/30/22, 12:26 PM

Was working with Matt Mona re: this. Super nice guy.

Zandy•1/30/22, 12:28 PM

Reaktor was generating errors too.

andybak•1/30/22, 1:22 PM

So "open-brush-toolkit-Unity-2020.2021-UnitySDK-v23.0.1.unitypackage" from that page? Not sure if that's what you mean by "2020.3.18f1 unity version"

andybak•1/30/22, 1:32 PM

I'll try it myself when I get in. Just want to make sure it's the same version you tried.

Zandy•1/30/22, 1:34 PM

That was the version of unity to build it

andybak•1/30/22, 5:16 PM

The error is obsolete api

It's always best to give us the actual wording of the error (or a screengrab of it)

andybak•1/30/22, 5:16 PM

Did you mean this message?

andybak•1/30/22, 5:17 PM

I actually get two different problems depending whether I use:

"open-brush-toolkit-Unity-2020.2021-UnitySDK-v23.0.1.unitypackage"

or

"open-brush-toolkit-Unity-2018.2019-UnitySDK-v23.0.1.unitypackage"

andybak•1/30/22, 5:18 PM

With 2018/2019 I get the message above (which isn't an error. Just click "Go ahead" and everything works fine)

andybak•1/30/22, 5:21 PM

(I'm going to rethink the download page for Toolkit/SDK. The problem is that the 2020/2021 version is really the "don't include the JSON library" version but Mona have removed it from their project so you get errors. The reason the 2018/2019 version works is that it includes this library - but we weren't expecting people to go around changing the default packages)

andybak•1/30/22, 5:21 PM

Probably the correct thing is to just explain to people how to install JSON.Net if they get errors.

andybak•1/30/22, 5:34 PM

@Zandy - I've changed the instructions on the download page: https://github.com/icosa-gallery/open-brush-toolkit/releases/ and tried it myself. See if that's clearer now.

I'm not clear whether you mean "thanks. it's fine now" or "thanks but it's still broke".

Zandy•1/30/22, 5:46 PM

Thank you for the info but it doesn’t work. Lol

andybak•1/30/22, 5:46 PM

OK. You're going to have to start explaining yourself in much more detail!

Zandy•1/30/22, 5:46 PM

I need to buy you a beer

andybak•1/30/22, 5:46 PM

step by step with exact error messages and the urls of the downloads you used - that kind of thing. i'm spending time guessing what you mean here!

andybak•1/30/22, 5:47 PM

step by step is painful but it's the only way I can follow along

andybak•1/30/22, 5:48 PM

so "After I used the sdk it would trigger safe mode in unity. Also it prevents generating playground files. " - these two statements contradict each other. If you're in safe mode then you'd be stuck and couldn't get any further. Unless you missed out a step where you fixed safe mode?

Zandy•1/30/22, 5:49 PM

I don’t know how clearer I can be. I tried every sdk that is out there. For each one I get the api error. In addition I get errors in the console log with reaktor. Then unity will not generate a playground file because the toolkit is causing errors preventing it. Once TBT is deleted from unity (any of the 3) I am able to create a playground file successfully.

Zandy•1/30/22, 5:50 PM

It will also generate errors that force me to go into safe mode in unity when I try and reopen the project.
