New GLTF exporter and new Unity Tools
I'm trying to get the unity toolkit thing working. Not successful with it yet, possibly looking at the wrong file?
Following the instructions here, which may be old.

Noting this comment on the page
"Update project to Unity 2019.4.25f1"
So suddenly unclear if I'm using the correct link.
Will look through the conversations for a bit, I may have promoted the incorrect bookmark

UnityExporting
Ok, this was my process
1. Download unity files from here
https://github.com/icosa-foundation/open-brush-unity-tools#upm
2. Open that as a project (add project)
3. Drag in your exported glb into assets
4. Drag the asset into the heirarchy
5. Assets>UnityGltf>Export (choose)
6. Drag resulting export into various software to see what happens

This was just a random sketch, not really clear what's going on with the brushes, models came in alright, although seem to have lost animations.
Basic Brushes:
Are these the expected results?
:: also noted, when exporting a sketch with the same name, it doesn't prompt but rather appears to overwrite.
So anyhow, have a process which is a bit clearer, although doesn't match the documentation in terms of output, so I suspect I did something incorrect? Also noted: Am using the testing version 2.731, and the newGLB option. Should I be using a version with the standard glb output? Noted: when exporting newglb directly from exports folder Babylon: Pre-existing animations (my animated objects in the custom sketch above) continue to animate Blender: Animations are lost, no keyframes are set Further Clarification: 1. Export NewGLB 2. Drag into Assets/Exported Sketches 3. Thea actual shaders appear to be stored in OpenBrushUnityTools/Runtime/Shaders/[shaderType]/[BrushName] Materials imported with sketch appear in all Materials

Interesting. I wonder why the two apps behave differently. At least we know our animations are preserved in some form
This is how mine look inside Unity Tools itself:
I'm not clear if your screenshots are from inside Unity Tools or from something else - you're also talking about re-exporting?
The grid is definitely from blender. That was days ago, I've done a million things since then.
I'd have to guess at the other one. I'm going to guess babylon because of the gradiant and the context, but I'm not sure I happen to have unity open and this is what I'm seeing for the basic brushes

oh ok. I thought you were saying they looked broken inside Unity
So Blender status (from memory):
1. Additive transparency isn't hooked up
2. Particle brushes are broken
Can't really remember - it's probably a bit early to be testing in Blender if I'm honest. We're going to need a Blender plugin to hook up things.
However - it should already be better in Blender than the previous GLTF exports - the idea is to incrementally improve things
If anything is worse in Blender than it is with the old exporter - flag that up.
They kind of do. Although it may just be a visibility thing.
I'm fine with incrementally updating, but this is another reason why I'd like to be able to hide or mark brushes that aren't going to work. I guess I could change the icons to a red X or something. Kind of ruins a sketch or model, if a brush you emphasized is invisible when you export it. Particle brushes "broken" ... Is that fixable through surgery or is that more of a rebuild thing? Long timeline on that?

Get the basics working before we mess with more complex topics So - I posted a screenshot from my Unity Tools with the basic brushes. Mine look pretty good from what I can see. Do you spot any differences with how they look to you in Unity Tools?
The second picture is the basic brushes loaded in unity tools.
I see 9 brushes that are either substantially different than what your screen shows 2 of them I don't see on eigher the dark or light background One of them looks substantially segmented, like it's missing a texture or has an issue with the glb profile
