Biweekly Painting Challenge: June 2022.1. Also: New Facebook group!
Hello there, paintsy-pants! We have two exciting things to share with you guys 🤩
Artwork by: Robert Svebeck
Most importantly: We are starting a biweekly (every two weeks) challenge on our Discord server. The idea would be that we provide you with a challenge and you—in your own creative way—have to come up with the rest!
Let's see our first challenge for the coming two weeks:
Painting emojis for our Discord channel
Since our Discord is our favorite way to communicate with our community, we would like to personalize it with emojis painted by you. Emojis showing amazement, love, agreement, appreciation, ... anything goes, just make sure they're family-friendly 🙂
This challenge will run until the 15th of June.
Join our Discord, and once you are done with your painting, look for the "👁-art-monthly-challenges" channel on our Discord and post it there for others to see! Don't forget to name your painting!🙂
Another thing we wanted to mention to you guys is that we made a public Facebook group where you can share your work and connect with other virtual painters!
NEW UPDATE - In-game Tutorials, Showcase your paintings, QOL fixes, and more!
The new update is here, let's see what's new!
Full List
❓In-Game Tutorials❓
Some of you were struggling with figuring out how some of Painting VR's many features work. That should not be a problem anymore because Painting VR now has in-game tutorials! Those are several videos that teach you the ins and outs of Painting VR. You can access them by selecting the "i" icon next to your canvas. You can follow along while they're playing.
👨🎨Display Your Works👨🎨
Did you ever want to display your paintings and turn your virtual studio into a gallery? Now you can! Go to your in game portfolio, select a painting, press the button in the bottom right corner of the window and hang it on your wall!
⏩Quick Access Menu⏩
We added a quick access menu that you can use to Redo, Undo, Open Brush Settings, and Lock/Unlock All Objects. Much simpler than having to remember a bunch of buttons, right?
➕And more...➕
This update is not just about new features, but also about bug fixes and QOL changes!
Smudging is here: in brush settings you can tweak how much the brush will smudge/smear the paint
Reorganized settings in 3 tabs. General Settings, Left Controller, Right Controller
Improved collisions on the edge of the canvas
Increased friction on brushes
Color picking now happens on a button press instead of a button hold
Several bugfixes and changes to the movement system and the controllers
General bugfixes
Did you find any bugs? Stuck with something? Do you need a silly challenge or a vat of inspiration?

Valve Index Hotfix
This hotfix addresses a problem reported where the hand rotation on the Valve Index did not match real life hand position. Both should now match.
