Description
Sketch 360: A Microsoft Garage Project
Sketch 360 helps you easily create 360 degree panoramic sketches, which are useful when you want to create a quick sketch of a space, real or virtual, when modeling might take too long.
Whether you are an architect, a VR designer, an urban sketcher, a 3D game designer or a 360 video producer, you can easily construct an accurate sketch from a single viewpoint that's easily shareable online using Sketch 360.
Draw on one pane using equirectangular grid and stencils as guides. The stencils help you draw the vertical and curved horizontal lines that end up looking straight when seen in 360.
As you sketch on the drawing pane, the sketch is projected onto the inside of a sphere with you at the center, rotating the 360 view to point at the latest sketch stroke. You can also use the tilt and rotation of your device to determine the gaze of a virtual window pane.
Works great with multi-screen devices and devices that support pressure-sensitive pens like the Microsoft Surface Duo.
Export JPEG images viewable as 360 degree photos on sites like Facebook.com, Adobe Lightroom, Kuula.co or apps like VR Media Player.

So fun! I keep using the" tilt to rotate "feature but its kind of hard to sketch. Ut it's still cool, so it deserves 5 stars.
★★★★★
This app is wonderful. Please improve the eraser so that instead of multiple lines being erased, you can erase like you draw. Perhaps, allow users to select eraser size as well. I love being able to see a 360 drawing of something I'm doing and seeing where it can improve. It stinks that when you erase something other lines you liked get deleted with the one you wanted to be gone. Also, a "hide" setting for the "tilt and rotate button" in the 360 view.
★★★★★
Sketching near vanishing points gets extremely wonky, and proper S-Pen support would be nice, so line width didn't need to be manually changed. Other great options would be saving a video of a 360 pan (I can't get photo sharing working), flood fill, texture fill with warp to filled area's perspective / curve, or just the ability to use a background image and optionally warp it. 360 cameras are too expensive for their limited novelty but using those could work for the 5 people who own one.
★★☆☆☆
Not what I expected. Better use with tablet and drawing stylus. (S pen, Microsoft pen, etc.)
★★☆☆☆
I only rate 1 star cuz I couldn't even draw. I was clueless how to make strokes, when I try to draw the screen moves and no strokes appear
★★☆☆☆
Awful, it started good, then it started crashing, then it wouldn't let me draw, then all the buttons and controls were busted.
★★☆☆☆
This Microsoft software running on Microsoft Surface Duo doesn't work with Microsoft Surface slim pen.
