Hi guys, I want to use OpenBrush on a Meta Quest headset for a university project in my final year.
For iterative design feedback I'll need to be able to show people (locally) the progress of my project, be it via the headset, exported video / GIF / images, or ICOSA if I can upload WIPs.
I'm reading the docs, reddit threads and these Discord channels for information and have a few questions that could fit into a few of the different channels here. If a Thread is needed I'll use a Thread. Any scope of reply is appreciated, feel free to break the questions down, anything helps.
Currently to export videos from the headset we've just been recording via the program pause menu functionality on the headset, the files are saved to the signed in Meta account, and we access the files from the Oculus app on mobile. This was for quick evidence capture of our experimentation with the software to upload to a blog, and with the UI captured etc, it's obviously not a good option for showcasing a final piece.
- If I'm using the OpenBrush in-app save functions such as snapshots and Camera tool, will these be saved to internal storage that can only be accessed via USBing to a PC? I'm also a little confused as to whether this is available on the Meta standalone version itself because the Docs for "Exporting video" and "Saving and sharing your Open Brush sketches" both mention the Camera tool.

What is the best app out there to view open brush creations in AR on a mobile phone? Is there any better than AR loopa or Styly or are those the only two that will load the shaders?
Sorry - one disadvantage of asking longer questions is that I tend to procrastinate on answering them!
how can i import poly to open brush? it shutdown ?
There's poly.pizza and polygone.art
yes but how i import?
Place glb files in your Media Library/Models folder
Has there been a suggestion / is there a feature for just… straight up and down / horizontal lines, or snapping for the shape guides? If it already exists and I missed it I apologize for the stupid question.
When renaming the files, does it update the vid names that were already generated for bat and USDA?
nope
Is there any way to get the more dynamic brushes to export to Maya? Or are we limited to the Unity SDK route?
