Baking audio into a scene
I haven't used Google Blocks before, so I don't know if it already has this feature, but if not and you're considering adding non-modeling features to Open Blocks, I hope you'll look into the ability to import audio files into a Blocks scene. Here's what I have in mind:
Global audio: This would allow you to import an audio file that can be heard no matter your position in the scene. For example, spatial rain sounds would play constantly throughout the environment.
Local audio: This would allow you to anchor an audio file to a specific place or object in the scene. The sound would play at a faint volume and increase in volume as you get closer to it. An example would be fire crackling sounds anchored to a campfire, which would get louder as you lean in.
I think this feature could really enhance the immersion of scenes, especially for users who don't take their creations outside of Blocks and just use the app to share what they've made.
I hope this isn't too troublesome to implement. If it is, though, feel free to ignore this! lol.

The ability to import and use raster brushes (like photoshop brushes)
I don't know it's even possible to support raster painting in this type of app but I can't help but feel the urge to use my favorite photoshop or procreate brushes to take a project from a being a sketch to a fully presentable finished work.
Here's how I imagine it could be used:
1- draw/paint directly with photoshop/procreate brushes to create storkes (some built in brushes already look photoshop brushes with texture and opacity properties so maybe it's possible to extend on that? Like take an unlit brush and just import on it the properties of photoshop brush like stamp texture?
2- use the photoshop/procreate brushes to texture existing strokes made by the built in brushes, say for example you paint a circle with the unlit brush in Open brush then you select it and then use a photoshop brush to texture the unlit circle, the texture will only go on top of the selected strokes...does that make sense?
Kinda unrelated but:
3- if the above is not possible then please consider adding the ability to texture models in Open Blocks using photoshop brushes, I imagine one would create a model in Open blocks than go to texturing mode and be able to use imported brushes to draw textures on the selected model, I used to do this in procreate where I import a 3D object to procreate and texture it there with procreate's brushes, the results are extremely satisfying (but tedious to work with 3D in a 2D app)
Please let me know if any of these solutions are reasonable or impossible to implement in Open brush, But I personally think it's super important to have a feature like that so Artists can add thier own unique touch and style to thier Open brushes sketches because being limited to the same few basic brushes is making it hard to stand out

Rigged human model for use as reference
I'm referring to something like gravity sketch's mannequin feature, where you can insert a model of a man or a man and can manipulate it into whatever position you want and use it a reference to draw on it.
I apologize if this is too complicated to implement in Open Brush.
(Attched is a video showing the feature in gravity sketch)
