Draw a friend for our mascot, Buckety

Your favorite art bucket with arms and legs feels lonely and he's asked us to come up with a buddy, so I suggest we do this together. If you need a refresher, this is how Buckety looks like: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/e6a7252652bf027cbd2c38dae6b2cd58c33ad381.png This challenge will run until the 30th of June.

Hello there, paintsy-pants! We have two exciting things to share with you guys 🤩

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/ff03c5c8ead67ff153c0176943f895bba7101de9.jpg Artwork by: Robert Svebeck Most importantly: We are starting a biweekly (every two weeks) challenge on our Discord server. The idea would be that we provide you with a challenge and you—in your own creative way—have to come up with the rest! Let's see our first challenge for the coming two weeks:

The new update is here, let's see what's new!

Full List

❓In-Game Tutorials❓

Some of you were struggling with figuring out how some of Painting VR's many features work. That should not be a problem anymore because Painting VR now has in-game tutorials! Those are several videos that teach you the ins and outs of Painting VR. You can access them by selecting the "i" icon next to your canvas. You can follow along while they're playing. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/60e7f0688c049bb40d63cfab3eec3e91c1f3ba4f.gif

👨‍🎨Display Your Works👨‍🎨

Did you ever want to display your paintings and turn your virtual studio into a gallery? Now you can! Go to your in game portfolio, select a painting, press the button in the bottom right corner of the window and hang it on your wall! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/0a7c2c77913aa8e428bc4e492a7f4388ef665fcc.gif

⏩Quick Access Menu⏩

We added a quick access menu that you can use to Redo, Undo, Open Brush Settings, and Lock/Unlock All Objects. Much simpler than having to remember a bunch of buttons, right? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/ade3b37972b7a2a70759196724a68f70c96bb26c.gif

➕And more...➕

This update is not just about new features, but also about bug fixes and QOL changes!

• Smudging is here: in brush settings you can tweak how much the brush will smudge/smear the paint
• Reorganized settings in 3 tabs. General Settings, Left Controller, Right Controller
• Improved collisions on the edge of the canvas
• Increased friction on brushes
• Color picking now happens on a button press instead of a button hold
• Several bugfixes and changes to the movement system and the controllers

This hotfix addresses a problem reported where the hand rotation on the Valve Index did not match real life hand position. Both should now match. A big shoutout to the community for reporting the issue! Please do keep us informed about any problems you are encountering so we can keep addressing them.

Hotfix patch to address some of the issues with movement in the game.

• Strafing on HTC Vive is changed so the strafe button just needs to be held instead of having to be pressed repeatedly to be able to move
• Default thumbstick deadzone value in the settings menu is set to 0.25. This results in a more consistent teleporting response
• A few other smaller fixes

Attention!

If you already played Painting VR before this patch and you had some issues with the teleporting not always registering, you will have to tweak the thumbstick deadzone in the settings yourself! Here is how to do it:

Open the main menu

Switch to the Settings tab (4th tab with the cogwheel icon)

Scroll all the way down

Set the "Thumbstick Deadzone" value to something like 0.25

Done! Happy teleporting! Here is an image of the menu you have to be looking for: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/3efcf5ee09a7acce69e5f71c539032a8077fc2dc.png Don't forget to leave a review and join our Discord to see what our community is up to! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/25c525127e96fa91044fcf159b86eaab174d4cfe.jpg

A small update to get the strafing working.

Hello fellow painting partisan, We are beyond excited to announce that you can let your inner creative beast go wild! Painting VR is now available on the Steam and Oculus Store! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/18ed8ba55dff1bd3a4c259cb92f4e7ba7d02622a.jpg For those wondering if there is a difference between the Quest version and the PCVR version, the answer is: yes! In the PCVR version, you can paint and export your paintings in 4K resolution. Need more pixels? PCVR is the way to go. If you need more mobility, then the Quest version might be more for you. You might also be wondering: what’s coming to Painting VR in the future? Well, how does a multi-user experience sound? At this very moment, the painting architects at Oisoi are drawing up how that experience would work. You can follow that process on their Discord server, so if you haven’t already, join up here: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/25c525127e96fa91044fcf159b86eaab174d4cfe.jpg

It will have support for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality (missing from the picture because our office Michelangelo is painting the Sistine Chapel in VR) and the Valve Index VR glasses and controllers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/6944b052781c71d273338c6bad88bda464346d45.jpg So get ready to dip some brushes in your virtual paint buckets and get that creative mojo flowing! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41966877/fefd168112fccdbc0e0d189e611ddc6e6056fedb.png Join our community to get feedback on your work in progress or to show off your next masterpiece!
