VR Paintbrush

A core creative tool in the social space, the VR Paintbrush lets users draw and paint 3D ribbons in real time.

  • Designed the look and feel to align with the playful, social tone of the platform.
  • Modeled the brush in 3D and rigged it for animation—including charming gestures and motion when in use.
  • Worked closely with developers to test and refine usability, ensuring users felt creative freedom with minimal friction.
  • Helped shape haptic and visual feedback that made the tool feel satisfying and alive.
