Hmm, I tried it a few months ago. Maybe the system has evolved. Did you try it on the Vive?
May I ask, what sort of 3D modeling packages are you used to? Did you try the "paint a picture in the air" approach or did you attempt to paint 3D meshes? I went first with the "painting in the air" approach but when I realized the system was effectively a hard surface modeler as well I changed the brush width to really wide and then could just paint forms. I enjoyed the fact that I could use same speed as sketching, but could actually think and create in 3D. I could paint the anatomy of a humanoid body in air. With traditional 2D medium I have to project the 3D shape to a 2D canvas, while with most 3d modeling packages the laying out of shapes is more like meticulous mechanical engineering more than intuitive creation of forms. The tilt brush system combined the fluidity of 2d medium sketching with the pleasurable sensation of actually working in 3d form.
Packages such as zbrush and Blender's sculpt mode enable fluid sculpting - but having the capability to create continuous 3D free flowing curves with the full muscular control of my entire body was such a kick. Maybe it's just me - I don't know.
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoYep, tried on the Vive and my experience mirrored what I've seen since. There was another paint/modeling program I played with and it was similar. I think it was Sketchfab. I'm just not impressed with most of my VR experiences to the point that they made a real impact on my thinking. Maybe it's cause I'm an AR developer.
- fsloth 10y agoAh, perhaps this is the difference. I'm not evaluating the Tiltbrush+Vive from the point of view of experience or 3D graphics but as a tool for art - I'm categorizing it among tools such as Blender, regular pen and paper, clay, etc, and not as a "transformative experience". Thus my statement "mindblowing" should be taken in same context as "mindblowingly good pen", not "a mindblowingly new view of the world".
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoThanks for clarifying. I think that's probably true for specialists generally when they encounter a new tool. I'm always curious what a "lay person" says when they mean that.
