Icosa Foundation

Hello, we're Icosa! We're a global community of developers and artists and we develop and support the  open source replacements for Google Poly, Google Blocks and Tilt Brush. 🖌🎨

We started development on the Icosa platform after learning Google was shutting down it's Poly platform, which allowed creators to share and remix works created in Google Blocks and Tilt Brush. We felt it was important to preserve and maintain such an important resource that many artists depend on for their livelihoods. 

Open Brush is a fork of Google's Tilt Brush, which was open sourced a few months after the Poly news. Our fork will focus on bringing all of the much-requested features from the community into one place, that anyone is free to modify or enhance!

Any funding received will currently be going towards server costs to host the site, API, and model storage of the Icosa platform. In the event that we start to receive more funds than required for general upkeep, we hope to be able to fund community arts projects that make use of Tilt Brush derivatives, e.g. EdTech and arts initiatives. 

Ideas, feature requests, and code contribution are all forms of donation too! You can find us in the following places:
- Discord, our main community platform. We regularly host discussions about ideas and features, anyone is welcome to drop in!
- Open Brush Twitter
- Icosa Gallery Twitter
