Oculus Medium 1.2 Update and Release Notes!

Welcome to the “Summer of
Move”
Oculus Medium update!





You’ve asked and we’ve listened! This release brings the most requested feature
from professional artists: the Move tool, which gives you the ability to
reproportion and repose your sculpt.  Studio Share lets you sculpt
live together in VR with a friend. Manipulators let you precisely
position and adjust objects in your scene, and Reference Meshes let you
import your own 3D models into Medium. 

Happy sculpting! bdywqwuti0du.png

Medium Website/Sharing Improvements


Details:

  • Move Tool

    • Move and warp the clay for proportion adjustments and repositioning, both large and small.  


  • Studio Share

    • Connect to one other user and sculpt simultaneously on your own sculpts

    • Show off techniques and your work

    • Video record and take pictures of your session together

    • Note that Studio Share uses a significant amount of internet bandwidth and we recommend a fast internet connection for both users connecting.


  • Reference Meshes

    • Untextured FBX and OBJ import supported

    • Currently support vertex colors on OBJ only

    • Included some built in animal, vehicle, and anatomy reference meshes

    • Global visibility toggle


  • Sculpt Origin

    • Set the actual scale and origin of your sculpt for consistent exporting to other 3d packages in meters


  • Manipulators

    • Translate, rotate and uniformly scale objects in world, sculpt and object space along X, Y, and Z axes.

    • Enter precise transform values

    • Specify snapping increments


  • Quick tool size scaling

    • Pressing the thumbstick down like a button and then dragging and releasing the button will let you quickly set the size of the current tool.  This is more precise than using the thumbstick up and down


  • Layers

    • New layer creates material attributes off of last active layer

    • Surface constrain works on all visible layers now

    • Layer flip now goes across the symmetry plane correctly

    • Creating a stamp from a layer uses the layer’s world-up orientation to create the resulting stamp orientation


  • Reference Images

    • You can now color pick off of reference images with the eyedropper

    • Included some built-in color palette reference images as examples under “Color Palettes”

    • Global visibility toggle


  • Library Browsing

    • Assets now sortable by date or name


  • Small Improvements

    • Settings menu button now pops up when you select an object, in addition to popping up with the tool gear button

    • Manipulate sculpt in any support mode when you deselect everything

    • Buttons and sliders visual pass

    • Sorting is now present in the asset browser in home

    • Fixed minor visual artifacts in the Softcone B stamp mesh

I already freaked about the Move tool, Studio Share, and Manipulators in my own thread, but the surface constraint across all layers was new to me!

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.
