Overview of Every Gravity Sketch Feature // Becoming a VR Artist Ep. 17

[@iAmAzwell]

As someone who just started using GS this week, THANK YOU. I know it was a lot for you to cover, but there was a lot that I learned. Thanks!

[@Willsing7]

I was stumbling around trying to figure out everything in GS until I found this video. You explained everything very clearly. Thanks for posting!

[@TheTokuzoBurnings]

I feel like I just did a matrix download by watching this at 2x the speed. “I know gravity sketch” (in a Keanu voice). Thanks for the great video 👍

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

bahahaha "This is just our loading program Neo"

[@piduino]

My heart is pounding after that, good shout. What a work out.

[@debsthecat]

This was a phenomenal tutorial!! I was getting so frustrated learning Gravity Sketch using the in-app tutorials, and your walk-through completely unblocked so much of what I was trying to do. Thank you!!!

[@Chromolume]

I have found numerous tutorials for GS, but this one is by for the best and most comprehensive of them. Minor quibble: vertex is singular, vertices is plural. It's impossible to "grab a single vertice". Thanks for making this!

[@handyscienceman]

The hero we needed

[@xrplayground]

Man you’re doing a great job, making the dive into VR easier for us. I really appreciate it. Just noticed your UI is quite different from the one that I see on my oculus quest. Going to watch all your videos.

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

Thank you!! Yeah next week I'll make a video about using the Quest with my course. You actually have all the same modeling features on the Quest even though I filmed this with the studio versions. The controllers may look different to you because I'm using the Valve Index here, but the button layouts are the same. Only thing you'll be missing are some environmental controls, and extra export settings. But that big orange environment at the end of this video was actually all made on the Quest, so you're using the right tool :) In the future, I'll mention the Quest more in my videos to make things easier.

[@cthecheese1620]

6:15 was where I started to get invested in Gravity Sketch. I'm really hoping I see some type of negative or carving feature somewhere in here, but so far this looks like it's getting the closest to what I want in VR right now.

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

I really need to make a new version of this video, but if you liked this, you'll LOVE what Gravity Sketch looks like now :)

[@kgonzales4474]

I had Quest2 for quite a while now but I only recently decided, out of boredom, to explore what Gravity Sketch can do. I also teach mathematics and I realize I can use it to make 3D illustrations for my lectures. Anyway, thanks for this tutorial. It was a huge help! PS The singular of vertices is vertex. :)

[@jenmaicha]

This is gold! Please post more videos with tutorials. I just downloaded Gravity Sketch for my Quest and this video has been SOO helpful! Thank you :)

[@jimberry7865]

I knew nothing about Gravity. Now i do. Off to play. This was excellent.

[@anthony_leckie]

Thank you for the very thorough breakdown.

[@lrose1046]

you are a SAVIOR!!! tilt brush is just a cool enviroment...gravity sketch is the real deal!

[@blented]

prly the best gravity sketch intro video I've seen man, great work

[@user-vx2he2tf7w]

You explained it better than the builtin tutorials.

[@Drstrange3000]

Wow! This is much more in depth than when I just played with it for a little bit! Gonna play around with it more. Thanks for the tips!

[@N0RDAX]

Thanks for this video, i just get the gravity sketch vr for free , and your video helped me to know a little bit more how about this stuff.

[@Askjerry]

Very nice... I love that now I can import/export OBJ stuff.

[@milomidesign]

This guy, Danny, is my man! Great job!

[@dungeonmaster217]

THIS. IS. FUCKING. BLEW. MY. MIND. I expected some interesting features, but besides that it has fully working classic polymodeling toolkit in VR.

[@kigerneko]

24:20 This looks way faster and efficient than modeling in Maya.

[@runsbuns3675]

absolutely still loving this program well worth the money youre video sold me on it all the features , last thing that made me purchase was being able to export :) and import to z brush for more work

[@disaffected_npc]

Dear lord, I'm 11 minutes into this and have already learned more than I have just playing around by myself. Top marks dude

[@clockmaster7401]

thank you so much, this is very helpful! just got the app and there are too many options and I was so overwhelmed

[@runsbuns3675]

jus bought it so far loving it

[@saibotgaming6045]

Hello Dani. thx for your videos. I want to share an idea about new video that you can make. as GS doesnt have SUBSTRACT shape from shape tool so many people ask everywhere how to use GS without it. I hope you worked it out

[@benjibrown4283]

legit tutorial - much appreciated Danny

[@reenlo7341]

Thank you so much✨

[@mixerinc]

Holy cow that was intense at 1.5 speed.

[@LilBigfootOverlanding]

Exactly what I needed! Thanks bro😎👍

[@MrTeeF]

Thank you. Every program should have a general overview like this. Love the efficiency of this program. Any tips on how to carve a "hole" in an object?... like one would do in a sculpt VR og Oculus Medium?

[@markusdapainta]

Vielen Vielen Dank für dieses fantastische Tutorial 🤩🤩 Beste Grüße !

[@edzardcontze5474]

This was so helpful, thank you!!

[@chloeli3549]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Lefty here as well!

[@MariamTareqVR]

is it possible to bring my Gravity sketch model in Tilt brush?

[@AprilArrglington]

Is the version of Gravity Sketch you are using here the pro version? Realizing that the basic version has less features (like less layers) so just double-checking if it makes that much of a difference.

[@ClownXmachina]

Good stuff. Watched all GS tuts and this was the best ! You guys should keep an eye out for Oculus medium as well. (Adobe has it now)

[@ineshilz]

Awesome series, exactly what I was looking for :) thank you so much for sharing! Is there a way to paint (on) the textures?

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

I’m thinking about getting this device and gravity sketch to help designs woodworking projects. Would I be able to do something where I can still see the room I’m in while designing, build something that resembles the project and have approximate measurements? Is gravity sketch good for that or is there something else I should look into

[@luvdesignz6427]

nice work..

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

I'm using a borrowed quest 2 and I notice that in some drawing programs the vertexes already become glitchy with the work I'm doing, and I'm not even that far in. I wonder how much the Quest 2 can handle or if I really need to start working through virtual desktop in order to make more complex designs.

[@gsvbusiness3532]

Are you using the Vive or the Oculus with this demonstration?

[@cesarmarrufo6433]

I'm a beginner at this and I'm intrigued at learning how to do this. My question is, is there a way to add models already created in different software?

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

Yup!! You can import a model by placing it in the Gravity Sketch > Models folder on your desktop, then pull it up in GS. from there you can convert it to a SubD object, which gives you full control over the verts. The only caveat is that this conversion deletes all UVs, although the team is aware that this should be fixed in the future. I'd advice only converting objects less than 50k verts. However GS can handle non-converted imports with much higher vert counts. Covids got me behind, but hopefully this winter I can make a follow up with all these new features.

[@cesarmarrufo6433]

@@TheSpatialCanvas Thank you so much for your response. Ill be subscribing to learn more from you.

[@M_WKM]

HELLO I WANT DESIGN FASHION COLLECTIOIN IN VR WITH GRAVITY SKETCH BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT ALL I NEED > WISH HELMET ? QUEST 1 OR 2 ? OTHERS /…. MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT

[@K162KingPin]

So there is no undo button and no way to make shapes of specific sizes in relation to real world measurements? Thats what I'm missing from other similar programs.

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

There is infinite undo/redo, and quite a few measurement tools now. This video is about a year old, they've added a ton.

[@retanis]

thanks for the strokes joke

[@stuckluca]

if i want create a cape in this program, because i want create a plan and modify it to simulate a hit of wind, i will export the cape create in this program to tilt brush?

[@stuckluca]

@Dhwanil Panchal thank you!

[@AWSKERS]

9:52 😏

[@bongo6022]

I knew at least one dude would comment that haha

[@ndo104no]

Im going to make virtual temples dedicated to sacred geometry and psychedelics

[@Xariann]

Did you make that final scene in Tilt Brush first or did you make it from scratch from Gravity Sketch?

[@BongbokCG]

🔥🔥🔥🔥😳

[@JVJF7]

When exporting to fdx it says you can't do that 'cause that is for professionals. What do they mean? Is there a premium version?

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

Gah yes....... They recently changed their model, which is good and bad. Good, because now the regular version of GS doesn't require a subscription, and contains almost every feature. But FBX got lumped in with the pro version.

[@fiercekrypton]

What about the movement tools?

[@luismanueltejada8210]

Is it a way to snap an entire project to origin? I moved my sketch (a house) and now it doesn't match with the grid. Thank you.

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

For an object you're working on, there is not. however when you import something, you can place it in the box to the left of the import window, which will automatically place it at it's origin. One fix for you, would be to go back to a previous save, grab your house and turn it into a prefab in the import folder, then go back to your latest scene and import the house. This will place it at it's origin. Overall best advice I can give is never overwrite saves, just keep iterating so you can do stuff like this.

[@luismanueltejada8210]

@@TheSpatialCanvas Thank you for reply. I solved it by grouping the entire sketch, zooming in and aligning the sketch with the axis using smart move. I didn't have previous saves.

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

@@luismanueltejada8210 Ah nice glad that worked for you. I know that feeling when you move something by accident when you're world scaling, yet don't realize you did it till it's too late. Working on a new set of videos for the series, I'll try to come up with some tricks for this.

[@SINGHLASVEGAS]

How can you import image and work on it ?

[@franciscobenavides2064]

How much a proyect weigth? i mean like 1gb 100mb

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Also could this be used to trace real objects

[@horsejoergen4931]

Is this pro or the normal version of gravity sketch?

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

This is the pro version, but you really aren't missing that much in the normal version. The main difference is your ability to export specific file types and control the environment settings. But all the modeling tools are the same

[@Psychodermia]

On my toolbelt, I do not have a tape measure. What I have instead is a stupid wand that does nothing. What's up with that? Also, NO ONE has been able to tell me how to reorient an object to the "world axis", XYZ axis once it is moved to a random axis. Example: You draw a 1-foot straight, square stroke (it looks like a 1-foot-long bar floating in the air before you). It is level and plumb, but you grab and move it out of place. You then change the color of the object. The object has now been turned over and over while you examine it in your grasp. Now, HOW would I return the object to precise XYZ orientation so I can place it with Smart Move? Anyone? 👽✌️

[@patek2385]

Tilt brush or gravity sketch?

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

Throughout my series I explain that they are not comparable apps. It's similar to asking "Should I use a 3D modeler, or a texturing program?" When you need both. Tilt is great for conceptualization and VFX concept design, while gravity sketch is great for final 3D modeling and exporting.

[@mizzcrazygal]

how do u draw w left hand cus im leftie too but it won’t let me

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

In the settings panel, there is a setting for "lefty" mode, just toggle that on.

[@mizzcrazygal]

@@TheSpatialCanvas thank youuuuu got it

[@MultitaskingGuy]

I wish I could get this a tutorial in game

[@kigerneko]

Here I am watching the video while I don't even own an Oculus.

[@flaparoundfpv8632]

I wish it weren't so focused on freeform creations. Useful objects have straight lines, angles, and dimensions. This is cool, but I want to do useful CAD work in VR, not design funky bugs and stuff.

[@coldblaze100]

It's a graphic design tool not technical design

[@flaparoundfpv8632]

@Dhwanil Panchal Thanks! I'll take a look.

[@UltraVioletLite]

i think i burnt my pop tart

[@rexbk09]

Pro edition has you subscribe to a monthly fee.. ..

[@TheSpatialCanvas]

They're going free in a month! But keep in mind, this isn't Adobe, Gravity Sketch is an indy company, their employees have to get paid for development somehow. But it's great that they've been able to secure enough funding now to turn the subscription off. But please just consider the people who make these tools in the future, you would expect to get paid for your work too.
