    So... officially, yes, we're not supposed to be able to upload Q1 any more at all. But also, https://github.com/icosa-foundation/open-brush/actions/runs/14248387150/job/39936527688 🙂

    Hi - working with Open Brush and have some questions: 1) There are shape guides - for example, the circle, and the pill shape. However, can you make your own guides? For example, if I draw a face, and then want to apply lipstick to the lip, is there a way to lock the stroke to the already created lip instead of just using motor skills and hoping the stroke is close enough? 2) Is there a way to do more refined erasing - for example, instead of deleting an entire stroke, deleting parts of it? 3) Is there a way mix colors, for example, kind of blend the colors of two strokes just like a painter would?
  • a
    1. Not currently but we've done some exploratory work on custom guides. It probably won't be quite how you describe however. 2. Try the snip tool 3. Not really. Strokes are really pieces of 3d geometry and there's no clear way that you can map the concept of "blending paint" onto what is essentially a bunch of triangles.

    @andybak One more question - how do you import models into Openbrush? I watched your youtube video, but I'm having difficulty importing models into Open brush. I have my Oc2 plugged into my computer. I put a OBJ and FBX file of a skull in the following directly: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/783806589991780415/1361824237500895462/image.png?ex=68002927&is=67fed7a7&hm=c72e92bc9ad2e322163579e35f7addedd7b2d949072d0423b7d51e1145dea706&
  • t
    In the headset, in the media library, I see both files, but when I click on either of them, I get the msg "FBX not supported". This is fine for the FBX file, but same response for the OBJ file.
  • a
    fbx is PC only. obj should work
  • t
  • t
    the first skull file is OBJ.
  • a
    DM me the obj but i probably can't test it until tomorrow
  • a
    Doh. I was being an idiot. I forgot that obj is PC only still (it uses the same PC-only library as FBX) I keep meaning to fix this as obj is a pretty simple format to support but on Quest it's GLTF only currently. See https://docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/importing-images-videos-3d-models#supported-file-formats
  • a
    On the plus side - GLTF is a much better format and converting obj to GLTF is pretty simple (try Blender)
  • t
    got it, thank you! Will try this.
  • Can't save files on PCVR

    I hope this server is still alive. My open brush will not let me save at all

    After starting the program on Steam, I only saw a black space and the controller did not respond. May I ask if I have made any mistakes? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/783806589991780415/1364143150020427786/20250420200157_1.jpg?ex=680898cf&is=6807474f&hm=3c918c67c414b366e188df881fa44f7af13ba7176553b71e5fb399e0535adc2c&

    Hello guys, is there any way to lock the mirror? I often accidentally move it out of position
  • a
    Not currently - but "undo" does work for it. I've been mulling over a more complete approach to remembering mirror position and it's something I hope to work on in the not too distant future.

    pretty sure this is already in #1050796955963498516 but if you can't find it then do please add a post there

    Logitech MX ink pen - I would like to ask how to make the pen to work in open brush. It can see the pen but when I am pressing the middle button which suppose to be for drawing I will get no line. It is not responding at all. Thank you
  • c
    Have you already solved the situation with left hand mode. I am as well a lefthander and I am experiencing the same problem. Unable to use the pen in Open bruhs?
  • a
    We haven't had time or resources to fix it ourselves yet and we're still hoping Logitech will address it.

    Would it ever be possible to create new custom brushes from scratch directly from within Open Brush? I'm not talking about fancy brushes with particles and what not, just basic brushes like you the ones you can create in Procreate or Photoshop? I understand that brushes in in those apps create pixels while brushes in Open brush create 3D objects so it may not be as simple but shouldn't it be possible to create basic brushes like the flat one? Where you can pick a shape or "stamp" or texture and maybe control some properties like stabilization and opacity, lit vs unlit and maybe some behaviors like if the brush should paint in one solid color or a gradient....I have no experience in coding so I don't if it's possible to write a brush engine that can handle this in a general form or if every brush in Open brush essentially requires to be programmed individually. Should I post this in the requests section? Edit: this question was inspired by watching @User 3 year old video about brush editing
  • a
    You can use this branch: https://docs.openbrush.app/alternate-and-experimental-builds/brush-editing it's rough and breaks sometimes when we update the main app - but report breakage to me and I'll fix it usually within a few days
  • a
    Basically - the more people that use experimental stuff, the more it gets tested and fixed and the more likely it is to get finished.
  • a
    Be warned - it's been a long while since that branch was touched so it's probably in a pretty rough state right now..
