Create Camera Paths by Drawing or Flying https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icosa-foundation/open-brush-docs/master/.gitbook/assets/image%20%281%29.png Creating camera paths is now much faster.

• Fix for sketch loading with images on layers - 19 June 2023

  In some cases a sketch would fail to load (if the top layer only had reference images on it and no brush strokes). This fixes that by moving them to the main layer. A proper fix will be in the next formal release.

• New release:v2.2 - Settings and Sketches - 31 March 2023

  Features Bundled "Featured Sketches" Since Google Poly closed down, the immediate access to some examples by talented artists was sorely missed. So we've added some of the classics back in. We have big plans for sharing and viewing artwork so this is just the start. Add a button in Setting to switch handedness Previously the only way to do this was to tap the bottom of the controllers together. This wasn't easy to discover and was unreliable when using some controllers. We've kept that in but added a nice clear button the app settings. Add a button in Setting to reset the "First Time Use" tutorial This is something that's especially useful when you want to demo Open Brush to a new user. The current tutorial is very brief but we hope to expand it in the future. Note this button affects the app the next time you launch it. Known Issues Meta Quest: Incorrect or missing video thumbnails are…

We're working on methods to smooth over and resolve these issues, apologies if you're experiencing them! Please get in touch with us so we can help debug your setup. Can't swap controller handedness by tapping together. The following issues are pending a bug being fixed in Unity, which we found and reported. Controller issues with HP Reverb G2. Difficult to dismiss panels by throwing them away. Deadzone on WMR controller thu…
