Your gravity sketch and open brush tutorials gave me the confidence to start doing art in VR, and I love it. Thank you so much for everything.

[OvernightOats]

I can’t believe you can make this in an hour, looking forward to following along 👍

[epelfeld]

I bought Tilt Brush when watched your old videos and created a cave with Unity. Now Gravity Sketch. Hope to see also some environment creation in Medium. I think it will be hard to get such a big creation but still. Thanks for your sharing of knowledge and skills

[monsterx]

watching you is making my artistic passion come back. i was seriously feeling dead inside and that art wasn't worth perusing anymore. but this is the sort of thing that brings me joy

Emma, I've been subscribed to this channel for several years. I'm so glad to see new content. While I like Gravity Sketch the most, I appreciate that you provide a mix of VR modeling apps.

super cool! ^^ thank you for sharing your complete worflow !

[gadwal]

Need to take some time off to watch this. But I'm commenting here to show love and appreciate what you're doing!!

[OneHewMan]

This is all great. Would love to see you take it into Unreal and play with it in there.

[joshuarigley]

I really enjoyed watching you go from creating a base to creating a detailed environment in such a short time. I'd love to see workflows for character creation, or workflows for the 3D illustrations you've made in tilt brush.

Thanks for the tutorial. :)

[bluuyo]

This is great! Would love to see how to do an interior space next. Architecture for a museum for example.

[thecatdowntheroad]

Your channel is going to take off!! This is prime material and content. 🙏❤️ thank you, I can't describe how excited I am to learn all of this. It's so much to learn tho!!!! 😶

[salartahrirchi]

Awesome content! I found your channel and watched a bunch of your videos today, I'm happy that you're back 💪😎 kudos!

[Gauffreman]

that's so cool and interesting! Thanks for sharing your process it's super instructive for me. I came from Dreams (I don't know if you know it, it's a game creation tool on ps4 and psvr), and I decided to step up by starting creating on UE5, but for now, I have some difficulty to know how to start, to found a simple workflow. I will follow you work with great interest!
