Open Brush modelling with Tom Ward

It was so fun seeing people step into virtual reality for the first time, experimenting with Open Brush, and realizing they can paint in 3D space. Led by Tom Ward we got to explore advanced features of Open Brush and see how Tom uses the software in his practice.

Some took a cautious approach, others went wild with color and movement—but every creation had its own unique energy.

Then came the real fun: bringing those VR artworks into AR using STYLY. Seeing participants light up as their designs transformed into interactive experiences was the highlight of the day. It was a reminder that immersive tech isn’t just for developers—it’s a playground for artists, storytellers, and anyone willing to explore.

The best part? The collaborative energy. Everyone, no matter their skill level, was sharing ideas and pushing creative boundaries together. If you came along—thank you for making it such a great experience! And if you missed it, don’t worry, there’s more to come.
