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.
In the latest version of Facebook Spaces, users will now see a ‘Gallery’ section in the menu where they can browse Quill artwork. Artwork can be drawings, animations, or even short stories, the Facebook Spaces team says. Here’s what it looks like in action:
Among the ‘Quillustrations’ that users can see in Facebook Spaces is a new short film, Beyond the Fence, by Facebook VR artist Goro Fujita.

Here he is breaking it down:
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.
