What does it do?

Unlike the existing , plugin scripting is designed to run small scripts that directly modify the behaviour of various features while you are actually using them. For example a script might move the pointer as you are painting or add new strokes in response to your actions.

What's it good for?

Changing the way Open Brush responds to user actions. Adding new mirror modes or creating a new custom brush tool.

How do I install it?

How do I use it?

How do I write my own plugin scripts?

Known Issues

Some API commands are untested. Please report bugs on the plugins and scripting channel on Discord. There's lots more I want to do with this including scripted 3d object creation, better UI for parameters (different input widgets etc).

How do I get help

Can I see it in action?

a build for your headset from the link above and unzip it. You can run the Windows exe directly. To install the Quest apk use SideQuest:
