Google Tilt Brush Experiments

By 8th November 2020April 26th, 2022No Comments

Google Tilt Brush is a virtual reality art and design application for Oculus Rift, Quest and HTC Vive created by Google. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been experimenting with this tool to create a variety of scenes. Some of these have been built from scratch and others created by importing a Matterport .obj into the scene to push the boundaries of the software and explore the creation of fire, water, landscapes, weather conditions and other elements. To appreciate these models and scenes in ideal circumstances, they can be loaded back into Tilt Brush and explored in 3D.

These videos represent the output from camera movement paths and an atmospheric soundtrack added (created with Garage Band or Propellerheads Reason). For more information on how the Matterport models were created using the Matterport Pro2 camera with infrared scanning capability, see their website at www.matterport.com. The video above featuring some of the examples with my own narration can be seen on YouTube in addition to a brief demonstration of Google Tilt Brush. You can also see another example of Google Tilt Brush work in the example called “The Desert”.
