About Open Brush
Open Brush lets you paint in three-dimensional space in virtual reality, using a wide range of brushes including stars, light and fire effects. It is a community-led continuation of Tilt Brush, which Google released as open source, and has added a number of features since then.
It is distributed through Steam, the Meta Quest store, SideQuest, Viveport, itch.io and GitHub. The same team runs Icosa Gallery, a replacement for Google Poly where creators share and remix their work. It suits artists and hobbyists with a VR headset.
