VR Painting App Open Brush 2.4 Added New Transform Panel

Icosa Foundation released Open Brush 2.4, the latest version of the free XR painting app, the successor to Tilt Brush. It adds multiple features that artists will be happy about.

First of all, there is a new Transform Panel with powerful tools for building complex scenes. You can lock any axis when moving or rotating a selection to keep the object in place and align multiple strokes, images, videos, or 3D models in any axis.

Moving on, the Snap Settings have been improved to give you more control. The snap grid can be applied to one axis or several of them if you wish to make many copies of a selection. Moreover, you can apply the snap settings to multiple objects after the fact. 

There is a new Multi-Mirror tool to help you create symmetric and geometric patterns. "It supports dozens of types of symmetry and has powerful control of color variance for the replicated brush strokes." It works when you duplicate selections as well.

Another important feature concerns the passthrough view. Open Brush scenes now stay in place and don't move together with your headset so you have the best immersion possible. Additionally, there's a panel that displays the view from any attached webcam in this release.

Other updates include a built-in XR keyboard, Quest 1 support, the ability to import 360 panoramas, a new GLTF importer, SVG importer, repaint tools improvements, an Audio Reactive mode for Quest, and more.
