v2.8 Import/Export
Import and Export Improvements
Export formats can now be selected in Open Brush.cfg. This release also introduced the UnityGLTF-based GLB exporter, improved GLTF model and light importing, and removed the remaining dependency between most import/export options and Experimental Mode.
Media Library Navigation
The Local Media Library now supports folders and subfolders, making large image, video and model collections easier to browse in Open Brush. Panoramic background images also have spherical previews that show how the image will wrap around the scene.
More Layers
The Layers panel now has page controls, removing the previous limit imposed by the number of visible layer buttons.
More Platforms and Fewer Separate Builds
Monoscopic mode and most formerly experimental features are now included in the regular release. The generic Android OpenXR build gained Pico support, and the Straightedge's shape gesture can create spheres on standalone/mobile devices.
Quest passthrough gained the experimental Passthrough Hull brush and automatic boundary suppression while the passthrough environment is active.
