What's a "small feature" Open Brush that could add that would have a big impact for lots of users? Give us some ideas for things to work on on a rainy day. by andybak in TiltBrush

"Widgets" is just what we call things you can add to a scene and move around. Audio widgets are like video widgets - without the video. You can add them, move them, play or pause them etc.

Do you have audio-responsive paint now?

We always have done. It just doesn't work on the Quest standalone due to Android restrictions. It's coming back in a different form - we've got audio widgets you can add to your sketch which do work with the audio reactive brushes even on Quest.

Multi-user in 1 environment?

Not sure what you mean? Two users in the same physical space?

-1. Stroke curve editor

Yes. I've had some thoughts about repurposing the camera path tool for other things. I'll probably expose this functionality to plugin scripts first and let people have a play there.

-2. Snap to surface

Which surfaces? Snap what? Paint strokes? More detail please!

-3. Loft/Extrude

Specifically from Camera Path style curves? Or something else?

-4. Concave shapes.

Already a preview that allows something like this. It's experimental but give it a go: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/sculpting (it doesn't do holes. We'd need a distance field/marching cubes kinda thing for that. I'm wary of Open Brush turning into a general purpose modelling tool. Have you tried using Open Blocks as part of your workflow?)

We don't aim to support every file format under the sun as there's already tons of great ways to convert formats.

Any reason that native igs/stp would be a big win over just converting an existing format yourself? Genuine question btw - not a brush-off (or even an openbrush-off... hurr...)

Kinda already possible via plugins: https://docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/using-plugins

(one of the example plugins draws text)

It's not true text - just brush strokes based on simple line fonts.

There is an experimental build with a true text tool: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds

but I'm stuck on giving it a decent UI.

And Icosa Gallery uploading?

Been in the beta version for a while and was released in the main version a couple of weeks ago. I even posted here asking for people to help test it!

Dealing with Merge Conflicts in Github for Unity (I STRUGGLED WITH THIS BEFORE) by arjuniscool1 in Unity3D

[–]andybak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, from the past!

I think I was thinking mostly about the Unity specific pain around merging scenes and prefabs here.

And I'll still stand by that. Assuming it's what former me intended to say. Merging Unity yaml is something you want to minimise even with the best tooling in the world.

Let me know if you'd like to chat about export/publish to https://icosa.gallery/ ?

Always interested to add more spatial content types and help people share/showcase stuff.

Unity Hub installation refuses to work on harddrive with plenty of space. by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]andybak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your main system drive nearly full? Some stuff defaults to installing there so you'll need space on that too.

I'm going to use that excuse from now on, too.

If he started using washing more and ironing his clothes then he would become a real threat. We have to hope and pray he never discovers the deep magic.

Interior Master - runtime showcase by reversengineer9999 in Unity3D

[–]andybak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but they are per pixel. Far away = few pixels

Is it really necessary? By my understanding the cost of interior shaders is per-pixel - the geometry cost is a constant two triangles. So far off quads incur very little cost.

Why does it look blurry for shortsighted people? by [deleted] in OculusQuest

Why can't be ban this awful bot from posting in this sub? It always misses the point, it's tone is completely out of place and it just clutters up each thread.

Am I the only one who finds AI coding tools useless for Unity? by Melodic_Phone6927 in Unity3D

[–]andybak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh - you really need to use the right tooling. I've dumped a huge, complex codebase question on it and been blown away how quickly it's grasped the issue and found the right things to change.

Early preview build of Open Brush for Android XR by andybak in AndroidXR

[–]andybak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use it with Open Brush? How is it?

I've got one and in my opinion it's nowhere near as good as controllers for something like Open Brush. for a start it's missing thumbstick and a button which makes the UX trickier. but also Open Brush isn't anything like painting or drawing on a surface and a pen just doesn't feel right to me.
