Hi guys, I want to use OpenBrush on a Meta Quest headset for a university project in my final year.

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!

When renaming the files, does it update the vid names that were already generated for bat and USDA?

Is there any way to get the more dynamic brushes to export to Maya? Or are we limited to the Unity SDK route?

I am setting up a lab to run open brush with students. When the Quest 2 is connected via the oculus link cable to the PC open Brush opens but the enviroment is black and there are no menues loading on the controles. The PC also shows a black screen with the Open Brush logo in the lower left corner. PC Alienware 13th gen i9-13900HK 32 GB Ram GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
