Easier access to files on Quest

Hello, im using open brush on 2 headsets, quest 2. Ive got 35 students to create in them and saved each work. I now want to export and copy all the data so I can use the 3d exports

SideQuest? That bypasses the normal permissions as it uses adb

oh thats not traightfoward at al, dammit erm is there another way, im using someone elses headsets and accounts thought id be able to just transfer the open brush files off
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
sidequest is just a swiss army knife. it's useful for tons of stuff it's worth the effort in general
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
yeah but it need acount login details to enabel it not my headsets
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
i don't think it does
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
i just watched the tutorial you haven to enable devloper mode
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
ah. another thing where i just assume everyone does that!
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
yeah, these are not my headsets
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
yeah - but surely whoever does own them would benefit as well? you're doing them a favour "setting them up properly"!
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
thats dosnt solve this issue now and i cant ask them becuase thery are not around
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
ok. let me think
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
thank you
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
so - you're using a different account to the headset owner? that does mess with file access. i vaguely remember hitting this myself a while back hmmmm. i wonder if the google drive sync would work it's going to be fiddly that way... ah. it's only 2 headsets. in which case - give that a go
DeathSmack

I've had similar issues. I've got very strange gpu over here...
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
if you sync to google drive, open each sketch and resave it - they should hopefully back up to the google drive account you chose try one or two first before doing all 35
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
ahhh, ok within the app itself
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
yep (you could try the sketchfab export as well - but it's not 100% faithful to our brushes)
DeathSmack
DeathSmack•13mo ago
there's some other sites you could upload too
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
ahhhhh!
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
(this is about exporting directly from the headset)
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
what the best way to concerv i hate this stuff, why cant thing be easy! haha
DeathSmack
DeathSmack•13mo ago
what do you plan to do after export? there's some good options for viewing I think
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
i want to export them and grab the export , then show them in AR at a exhibition, im just leaving now ive given up for today im around later when i get home though, assuming you are free of course thanks for your time today Andy, did you see the video link of the session i had Sat though click on the link for a quick vid - https://discord.com/channels/783806589991780412/1178716603295211620/1178717862903423026

that's awesome!
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
Thanks, though you would like that, its a good use of Open Brush and getting kids into VR and also thinking about fashion which was the main purpose so the idea was to get the files off and then use an AR app to show these btw, dont suppose you know where the model for the dress dummy thats used in the environment file location?
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
OMG! thank you that was bloody easy! haha, saves me trying to match them
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
benefits of being open source - everything is available!
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
great, just watching your brush edit video
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
yeah. i really need to revive that
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
it would be a cool feature i like those blue smoke dots you made "slug brush" 🙂
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
you should see what @AncientWorlds did with that - he made hundreds of custom brushes
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
is that a feature that i could use?
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
(nearly) all viable branches are listed here
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
can you run them side by side, or just one at a time
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
side by side
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
GREAT!
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
they al appear in "unknown sources" on the quest
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
youve done great things with this, im so glad its alive still, its a killer VR app
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
do be wary - this is all bleeding edge stuff and we make no guarantees 🙂
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
no worries, ill keep the stable version btw i pluged in my cable at home and i got the files stright away in my own quest
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
yeah - the issue is with multiple accounts i think
KirkBear
KirkBearOP•13mo ago
yeah, but aprriate the help and the chat and i really want to help promote open brush too
andybak
andybak•13mo ago
That is very much appreciated.

You can make modified brushes with the brush editing build.
At the moment that isn't integrated, so to display them you need to use the same build. The default version won't read from the file location where they're stored, It works (with some small glitches), its fast, but there's a lot that needs to be done to make it more usable and/or update it to more current materials workflows
