Ability to view a webcam feed in the headset
Could be any live video source. The main use case is live performance but there's likely to be other applications. Suggestion by @shawn.chiki
Snapping options for gripped Object/Strokes.
This is very noticeable with imported models or when trying to place the mirror tool, the VR controllers are too sensitive and it is close to impossible to place things with precision. This was apparent when I imported a bust to paint on, it's impossible to get it to work mirrored because I can't perfectly place it on the center axis without any rotation. A simple either snap to 0,0,0 at minimum would be greatly appreciated.
Snap menu to hand from far away.
Summoning a menu very often places it far away from me or inside a sketch and I can't see it. If the raycast is hitting the menu then pressing the grip button should snap it to my hand.
Ability to delete what I am holding by button press.
Please add a button press to Delete strokes/models or close a menu that I am holding. For example on the Quest2 controller on the right hand the B button is free when holding something, that would be easy to place there.
The throwing things away is fun but not very efficient if we are spending hours working and constantly throwing things away. On my quest 2 controller it is really hard to do this maneuver, I don't know if it's the same for others but I have to time it perfectly and flick really hard for it to work. It's frustrating trying to throw things away over 3-4 times and not being able to get rid of it. I never had this issue with my vive controller....
Selection material applied to brushes is distracting
Some brushes when selected have an outline material that is not the best but others like the hull brush have the surface changed to a neon bright material that personally hurts my eyes to look at and blocks what the selected stroke looks like making it hard to see where I am placing it.
It feels like the shader is not stereoscopic and shows a different color for each eye which I think is where my discomfort might be coming from. Please allow us to use something simpler, or turn it off completely. I'll even take the normal outline material a bit weaker if possible....
Ability to turn off the Mirror visual
The mirror uses a very big font as well as thick bright lines, when working on a 1 to 1 scale the lines intersect my piece and get in the way of my own pov, it's very distracting. Tools like photoshop allow you to hide the mirror lines while still being on, same for tools like Krita because you don't want lines in the way of your work.
Erase, select, duplicate and move functionality mirrored
Current functionality: At the moment only the paint brushes are mirrored when the mirror feature is turned on.
Issue: This can make select, erase, duplicate, move and every other feature almost useless when you are working on a mirrored piece, for example a character....
General Feedback
Hello everyone,
I wanted to start by saying a big thank you to all of you Devs working on Open Brush. Tilt brush is one of the most creative tools ever developed and I was really sad to see it discontinued and then relived to see it go on as open source. I have spent quite a lot of hours in tilt brush, I used to do a lot of artwork under the name 3donimus. I was hoping to share some thoughts in hopes to help this app succeed. I have recently had a chance to use it for a bit and would like to share some suggestions and ideas.
Quality of life....
Folders for the media library
The media library and Sketches can get a bit crazy when you build up your library. It would be awesome if we could create folders that we can access for each of the categories. This would allow users to sort their content how they wish For example: Sketches by month, theme, models by category, skyboxes by types of environments, etc. Even a personalized tagging system would be helpful.
Streamer Mode
Few features maybe useful when doing streaming with tools like LIV:
1. hide some UI like the drawing panel
2. a cheat sheet page on the back of the controller page...
Ability to copy a guide
after resizing a guide it would be great to reuse this guide in other places in the scene.
Gallery... all the worlds a stage
After seeing this post

It occurs to me just how amazing it would be to be able to have this work with the icosa gallery...
Keyboard tagging
When we get keyboards implemented would be a nice feature to have some hotkeys for tagging.
One of them that grabbed the currently selected brush name. So you could store whatever you typed, and presumably export it as a notepad thing. Current use case would be for tagging brushes, although I can see other potential uses for something like that, including saving typing time if you're trying to document...

Toolkit ability to accept subfolders or separate manifest(s) for custom brushes
The toolkit seems to expect all brushes to be in the top level subfolder in assets/resources/brushes
When serializing it finds them, but based on the console reactions, doesn't like it a lot.
I can organize things like that, but it will make things like tracking and importing brush packages much harder
Especially since they get mixed in with the core brushes when done this way
It may also affect model exports and other areas like VR recording....
Mesh Colliders
The ability to add a collider to a shape so that particle brush effects are contined within the shape and doesn't extend out of that shape. Not sure if there is a way to do this easier with a script.
View Only sketch sharing
Sharing my sketches in a beautiful way is consistently a challenge right now as a VR creator. I want to be able to immerse my viewers and allow them to explore and experience the sketch the same way I drew it. However, I have some slight hesitation about completely sharing my source files publicly. Do we have an option to send a .tilt file sketch as a "view only"? Would this be really tricky to implement?
Snap/Magnet Option
The ability to snap your model or parts of a model to 0,0,0 or an any object or guide (not just drawing on the guide), like you can in blender. This could also work in conjunction with the export options suggestion but it would work in game.
