I was once part of a small team at Google that made a VR drawing app. Today is the ten year anniversary of its release. Happy birthday, Tilt Brush! The app is no longer supported, but it lives on in openbrush.app @openbrush.app
You asked, we listened. 🖌️

Native quill or imm files. Timeline is still experimental and not in the main or beta builds
Testing importing a fairly complex Quill scene. Fidelity is pretty good now thanks to some fixes by Joan Charmant. (original sketch by www.mattschaeferdesign.com )

The Windows Thumbnail Extension is now available from openbrush.itch.io/openbrush (see the last item in the download list). This should make it much easier to rename and sort your sketches. Quest users can use this as well. Just copy over your sketches to a PC, organise them and copy them back.

Do I know anyone making #art with @openbrush.app? One of my favorite #VR art tools. There's gorgeous work online in the @icosa.gallery. Viewable in desktop!
This is the community-made project that replaced Google Poly! Wheels turning over here (this is how I stay sane in the winter).
We sneaked out support for Gaussian Splats using the very groovy three.js plugin Spark: icosa.gallery/view/ZTLkNjE...
Wow, @openbrush.app name dropped by @valvesoftware.com in this interview as already working with Steam Frame! 🥳 Please still send us dev kits… www.pcgamer.com/hardware/vr-...
We're still waiting on hardware for testing but this is very much on our radar.
A dramatic close up of part of tonight's session, i started by creating the universe so i could make an apple pie. Lots of abstract forms, with lots of easily-accessible humanizing tools under the header 'jitter'. Basically makes your hands wiggle in weird ways, so blasting out shapes was a lot like a fireworks show, made very easily with vr controllers, painting in the air. Big fan of the polygon/hull tools and just learning the 'camera paths' tool. The plan is to make a video later this week, I made one tonight, but can do better. These shots also have a bit too much blur for my tastes (looks good in motion tho).
Another still from tonight's art session, I made 6 sculptures in one big explosion of novelty. In the center of this shot, there's a red, black and gold little knotted up hive that looks incredible up close. The best part about creating in space is all the perspectives you can paint from, and then walk around them. Just satisfying, lines on paper does similar for me too.
This segment, where the scene zooms through the center was inspired by cgi from old heartburn medicine commercials and Trapper Keeper art. It looks kinda messy in still shots, hopefully a video will help it stand out more. I'm also colorblind, can you tell?
A close up of the beginning of tonight's session. Concentric waves (of my arms in front of me), no thoughts. Like looking at the sky, let the brain do its' thing, let the feedback loop guide me.
Spent the #night getting reacquainted with @openbrush.app #VR.
Some 43,600 brush strokes & 117,111,117 polys later, very satisfying to just make stuff~!
Want to figure out how to sync audio with the camera paths tool next!

And they wonder why we don't spend more time doing social media...
!!!
If we could get our hands on a headset we'd have a better shot at getting it working.
Just updated our Github readme with all the current integrations and plugins and it looks kinda impressive all in one place: github.com/icosa-founda...
Out of curiosity was it just Icosa Gallery you didn't know about? Or you didn't know about Open Brush at all?
Cough...
All the pieces are in place. We're mainly testing and fixing bugs at this stage. Anyone who wants to help test things out can come and chat to us: discord.openbrush.app
We're very close to releasing proper integration with @icosa.gallery - so you'll have a web viewer that renders all the brushes exactly as they are meant to look
Pssst you accidentally misspelt #openbrush ;-)
I'm excited to announce my #VRChat world Natura's Queendom has been nominated for Best Art World and Best Art Experience at #RaindanceImmersive 2025! Her home is filled with color, life, love ❤️

おはようございます
これっくらいのお弁当と
今日は作業集中チルいアプリ #gogh と、 #OpenBrush で描いた 3マス(3ヶ月でマスターする絵を描く) の第7回目の犬 🐕 goghにそれをスクリーンセーバーみたく組み込んで、と。
夏も近づいてかき氷🍧をおやつに出したり、除湿モードでエアコン稼働したり 今年はそこまで暑くならなそうなことも聞いた気がするけど それでも暑い夏が来るのは戦々恐々……。
無理なく動きたいですねぇ。体育祭もあるからgkbrしてる我……とは言っても、子供は教室で食べるのでちっちゃいお弁当を何個か作るだけで良い。昔は2時に起きて色々作ってたんだから楽よねw
