Tilt Brush is a 3D painting video game developed and published by Google. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on April 5, 2016.

Controls

The application is designed for motion interfaces in virtual reality but also works with keyboard and mouse.[1] Players can export their images as animated GIFs.[2]

Development

The program's designers recalled punching each other in the face accidentally as they painted due to the close proximity of their desks.[3] Google acquired Skillman & Hackett (and their program) in mid to late 2015.[4][5] Tilt Brush was released at the HTC Vive's launch on April 5, 2016, at no cost when pre-ordering the HTC Vive.[6][7]

Reception

Ars Technica said that Tilt Brush was the HTC Vive's killer app.[8] Edward Baig of USA Today said that the program was the only one that excited him in the platform's launch lineup.[9] The New York Times wrote that the program was better suited for beginners than more engineering-oriented experiences like Fantastic Contraption.[10]

Ars Technica praised the program's intuitive interface and the excitement of painting in three dimensions.[11]
