Tilt Brush reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from French
Product received for free tilt brush is a remarkable software on many points, especially today where virtual reality is only in its infancy. First of all, the interface is very well thought out, and that is why this application was supposed to be in its infancy. No floating menu or virtual flat screen glued to the face, the manipulation of the virtual "palette" is very intuitive and takes advantage of the ease of use of the joysticks of Vive. The haptic return of the joysticks is pleasant and offers a feeling of welcome materiality, especially when the various menus are scrolled using the trackpad. The concept itself is relatively simple: I have often heard tilt brush qualify as "paint for RV". That's pretty much it. Drawing and painting in space offers a real sensation of freedom and immersion while using the proper characteristics of RV, one can not imagine this program on a classic screen. The brushes are pleasantly varied, but we would not refuse to have even more. My Favorites are, like many, light and paper. The paper, precisely, offers a sensation of material creation, even more than with the other brushes. The light, meanwhile, offers a somewhat surreal sensation, halfway between magic and SF. Other brushes are fun to use, like snow or "hypercolor" but do not serve me as much as the first two. Tools like the mirror or the one to draw straight lines are really useful and practical, with always a simple and understandable use, and this leads us to another quality of tilt brush: its accessibility. All the people around me who were able to test tilt brush had no trouble evolving in space and using the interface, even if they had never tried RV. Most of them have no artistic practice, their creations may not have been impressive, but they have been able to have fun by occupying the space with lights, colors and textures. I think, however, that owning an artistic practice like drawing or even three-dimensional achievements really helps to take ownership of the software. For Yes, however, tilt brush has some limitations. Like any application that uses creative skills, if you do not have that kind of skill, once the novelty has passed and once the flying Scribble is no longer fun, a vacuum must be felt. Having a little practice on my side, I can not speak knowingly but it seems to me that this is a situation to consider. In addition, some features seem to be lacking. For example, a scaling feature would be welcome (the teleportation feature recently added) in conclusion, even if I got it for free by preordering my Vive, I can only recommend it since I would have it without doubt bought anyway. It's an immersive and liberating experience. Other applications for the software could be envisaged: it could allow any kind of designers or creators to make quick drafts of creations, ideas, projects. A virtual reality draft book. There are surely many other possibilities and I hope that tilt brush will be updated and become even better and more refined. If it is not him, it will be another, in any case hope it.
