Auto Fill Guide
Just an option maybe in Guide settings to auto fill guides with brush and color options.
Cheers!...
Pyramid Guide
Som sort of flat triangle plane and triangle guides would be nice, like making the points of a fortress or castle.
Also an auto fill option for guides would be nice.

[PLEASE READ] How to get your wishes granted more quickly
The best way to ensure we can deliver features more quickly is to help out. Currently almost nobody is pitching in and contributing. So - development is slow. Every hour we spend doing things other than coding is time lost.
Developers shouldn't be spending their limited time writing tutorials, testing, answering community questions, doing social media etc etc. Other members of the community could be doing most of this. Please help if you can!
Not sure how? See https://docs.openbrush.app/get-involved or just ask. 🙂 ...
Move the planet in the space environment
Hi, I know this isnt exactly a feature, but i really love the space environment except for the large planet that always ends up in the scene. sometimes ill move my entire drawing upwards to avoid this planet but sometimes thats not easy to do (when i also have camera paths to move for example)
Use the Passthrough Brush as a Boolean Tool Modifier for Export
Would be great to be able to use the passthrough brush as a boolean tool for export. Been doing some wild things with passthrough and will post more soon. Instead of exporting the brush strokes as a passthrough shader, the ability to toggle the strokes as a boolean would be awesome. More precise than the snip tool as well.
Enable/Disable Toggle in Camera Settings
Would be helpful if we could toggle whether reference photos are visible in the output camera when painting Live in VR or in Mixed Reality.
Passthrough Brush
Shapes XR and Figmin both have the ability to use a hull that makes things see through and is often used for the outline of a portal. To achieve the same effect in OB we have to use a png cutout or one with flipped normals. Using a brush that does this is pretty amazing.
Side by Side movie and photography support.
Nintendo 3DS is a very suitable gadget for viewing VR art. If the OpenBrush camera supports Side by Side stereoscopic photography (and movies), we will be able to enjoy it more easily.
Delete all but visible layers
I have a lot of issues with deleting layers as it is (sometimes the deleted layers reappear when I reload the sketch), when working with a file with over 100 layers it would be amazing if we could delete all but the layers we have on currently
Alignment tools to work with grouped items
Got super excited to use the new alignment tools until I realized it aligns every individual stroke 🫠 would love if it would align based on a grouped object
Multiplayer Passthrough/MR enabling
Okay update: I just spent extensive time with both OpenBrush and MultiBrush (paid app on the Meta Horizon store although it’s outdated, it’s still up)
Overall OpenBrush's beta appears to be the best choice for co-op art, except for one important difference to me: Multibrush allows passthrough online co-op mixed reality. The OpenBrush beta doesn't allow 2 or more users to be in passthrough during live co-op gameplay whatsoever. Multibrush achieves the paradox by putting a virtual avatar of the other party in your passthrough surroundings, with no option for undo, and the home button recenters each person and can reposition their avatar in your mixed reality/passthrough world. At first I thought OpenBrush would handle the paradox similarly, or if not, then it would at least allow undo as an action. But it allows neither, unfortunately. So if two people want to co-op art but the passthrough is important for one or more players, then Multibrush seems to be the ideal solution for that specific use case....
Drafting layer mode
Link between the skybox background and the orientation of the artwork
Currently, with the artwork displayed, the skybox orientation is fixed even if the viewpoint is rotated.
It would be great if, when the viewpoint is rotated and the artwork and skybox are properly aligned, a checkbox such as “Link skybox and artwork” (or unfix skybox) could be checked so that when the viewpoint is rotated, the skybox also rotates with the artwork. It would be nice if the skybox could rotate with the artwork when the viewpoint is rotated....
The ability to adjust the size of the 360 rotation in the spectator camera
The spectator camera as is can do 360 rotations/ figure 8’s around an object but you have no control how far away from the model it turns. If the point of origin is enabled, it would be great if users could accurately adjust the position/distance from the model before it does a figure 8 or circumference around the model. Also if the camera had the ability to change the POV to the point of origin it would produce perfect videos without the need of a turntable.
Point of origin toggle.
The ability to toggle point of origin on/off and the ability to move it on the model. (Entire model or grouped items). It’d be a great feature for animations or stop motion. Same feature suggestion for blocks.
Reset Transform
Would be a helpful/cool feature to have a reset transform button to apply to a model or grouped brushstrokes. When you use environments that don’t have a floor where you can see the center of the space, sketches end up in a far away galaxy…. 😲 same feature suggestion for blocks.
Opacity slider
As the title says I think an on the fly opacity feature would be greatly appreciated. Just for the main brushes none of the crazy ones.
Just like a slider where you pick your color would be a good spot I think....
The ability to import and use raster brushes (like photoshop brushes)
I don't know it's even possible to support raster painting in this type of app but I can't help but feel the urge to use my favorite photoshop or procreate brushes to take a project from a being a sketch to a fully presentable finished work.
Here's how I imagine it could be used:
1- draw/paint directly with photoshop/procreate brushes to create storkes (some built in brushes already look photoshop brushes with texture and opacity properties so maybe it's possible to extend on that? Like take an unlit brush and just import on it the properties of photoshop brush like stamp texture? ...
