VR painting app Quill, which began its life as an internal production tool for Oculus Story Studio and was eventually released to the public, will see continued development despite the shuttering of the studio back in May. Former Story Studio members continue Quill‘s development under the banner of Facebook’s Social VR team.
Though Oculus Story Studio has shut down, Quill, which was originally built as a production tool for the studio’s ‘illustrated’ VR film Dear Angelica, former Story Studio VFX supervisor and Quill creator, Inigo Quilez, and former Story Studio Art Director Goro Fujita have found a new home for the tool as part of Facebook’s Social VR team.
That’s great news for fans of the app, and also a huge hint that we could soon see social / multi-user functionality added to Quill, as we recently saw with Medium, a VR sculpting tool also made by Oculus.
Marking the commitment to Quill’s continued development, the team today released a fresh update to the app, announced via Facebook, with several improvements and fixes, and brand new ‘quillistration’ by Quill maestro Goro Fujita titled ‘Left Brain – Right Brain’.
