USDA files on Quest
Can you remind me where you are at?
Are you using the Quest standalone - or running Open Brush on the PC and connecting to the Quest via Link?

ok got it
I normally do openbrush on quest alone but i do have VR laptop and link cable- i set it up with laptop to see if the usda files show up on desktop and i didnt see any- do i need to resave somehow for them to show?I'm pretty sure the usda file is created when you record a video. (and only when running via PC) So: 1. Start Open Brush on the PC 2. Record a video as normal 3. Check the folder the video is saved to on your PC and see if the .usda file is there (I haven't done much video myself - this is gleaned from a few tests, the docs and what other people have told me)
"When you create a video from inside Open Brush using the Camera tool and you've set "SaveCameraPath" to True in the Open Brush config file - Open Brush will create a Windows batch file alongside the video (In Documents\Open Brush\Videos) that you can run to re-render the video at a higher resolution."
Remind me - why do you need to render offline? What's your end goal, here?
I just want to check that the thing you're trying to get working is the right thing for what you want to achieve.
Still there?
Am I recording with the headset or internally with oculus?
I dont see a record option for anything other than a five sec gif within the openbrush app
my end goal is to make a 360 film i can upload to youtube
@andybak any ideas on the above
"Am I recording with the headset or internally with oculus?". You're recording on the pc if Open Brush is running on the pc.
ok i meant- do i click record from the headset- or click record in app on openbrush?
Both! You record in the Open Brush app but you do it on the headset.
I might be misunderstanding the distinction you're making here
(I'm also typing on my phone whilst cooking dinner so bear with me. Different time zone!)
(And it's a rather improvised pseudo-paella at that...)
Wow thats a difficult dish!!
thanks for your help, ok what im asking is how am i supposed to trigger the recording? theres 2 ways- one where i push record that just records everything on my quest screen, whether in open brush or not, then theres the in app of open brush within labs to record but i only see gif options there
Ok. It's the latter but there should be non-gif options. I'll have to check because I don't use it enough to remember off the bat.
It would be good to improve the docs on this. What parts could be clearer?
Ok- for some reason i was only seeing gifs. i will try
@andybak thank you very much
