The meeting of the ancients

2024 experiment with using OpenBrush that took a whopping 15 minutes to test pretty much every brush and effect there is and set the scene for my usual mountainous landscape painting. Not sure why exactly, but this is the motiff that is appearing more frequently than any other, especially if I am testing new techniques.

If I had to express my experience (this is one of the sketches saved), it would be something along the lines of “well, it is impressive but requires more finesse than usual art. And my controller started drifting sideways beyond the horizon… It came back. Where did I stop exactly?”

In other words, OpenBrush itself is impressive as long as you work to its strengths and have stable tracking setup so that controllers register where they actually are rather than wherever they are not because what controllers know is what they do and not where they are or are not, since from their point of view and as far as the whole setup is concerned… they are not too far apart. Jokes aside, it was pretty interesting and more engaging than virtual galleries or, oddly enough, regular painting apps.

Also a video flyby that was much easier to set up than anticipated:
