The brightest spot in the new packing is the beginner mode for rookies and advanced mode for pros. The beginner mode will let the user lock the objects in place and edit around them.

The new move is in line with equipping artists and creators with cutting-edge VR tools. Following are the seven new features that Google has introduced with version 16 of Tilt Brush.

• 12 new brushes: New brushes let you create different textures and volumes, and furthermore, you can create a natural landscape or lifelike characters.
• Beginner and Advanced Mode: when you first launch the app, you’ll start with the core feature set. When you’re ready for the next level, you can press the Advanced Mode button to access some additional features.
• New ambiance: The app has been added with new sound ambiance. The updated set of sound effects is designed to enhance the user’s creation process.
• Sketch organization: There is a Pin Tool that can quickly lock your objects in place when creating densely populated masterpieces. When you pin objects in place, they are unselectable, making it easier to manipulate the scene around them.
