Quill, Facebook’s VR painting and animation tool, is now getting a new and immersive avenue for sharing artwork created in the application. With today’s update, users can now share their artwork into Facebook Spaces, letting friends experience it together. Facebook VR artist Goro Fujita created a new short film animated in Quill and shared in Spaces as an example of the new capability.

Quill artists can also submit their own works from within the app to be shared with friends and the broader Facebook Spaces audience. Along with the new Facebook Spaces sharing functionality, the updated version of Quill (1.5) brings with it a host of other improvements and fixes.
