Hi Daniel, Absolutely agree, XR tools are becoming easier for product designers! To answer your question, I've been trying Open Brush (powered by Tilt Brush) lately, and it's pretty powerful in terms of what you can achieve. I'm planning to explore ways to use Open Brush and Bazel together for my next project. Loved your video, very insightful.
This is just awesome man! I was struggling to find someone who is not boring at all and yet I found you! I am gonna make some amazing stuff with this Bezel. Anyways I have no idea why did you write OUT OF DATE with the Video Title.
yeah, I just logged into Bezi and was disappointed to see the layout is different, and now I'm watching a different video in their tutorials. Fingers crossed it works! 🤞🏽
Thanks Daniel, as a digital/UI/UX designer this is awesome to see! Currently I'm looking at how my skills can be transferred to XR but Unity hurts my head a bit. It seems a long way from being able to create interface design quickly, maybe I'm wrong though? I love that Bezel looks like a easier bridge from Figma. Do you think something like this could become adopted in design studios for prototyping before Unity? Thanks for sharing this amazing content, have just subscribed!
Love the work you do and super thankful for sharing your knowledge. You're such an underrated youtuber, you deserve so much more. BTW, does this only work on Quest Pro passthrough or will it work on Quest 2 as well?
do you think Ar will be the future in the world of UIUX designer ? Also loved your work. I am an architect and urban planner and i recently switched to Ui Ux design (Past 8 month ).
Hi Daniel, Yes i am having same issue with opacity in transition animation between states. I have noticed it is affecting the message transition in the Bezel gallery as well - "The 3d UI Prototype". The base state is Transparent , the state 1 it is visible and larger, then returning to base state it is still visible but smaller. I guess it is a bug do you have workaround at moment while this is an issue. I tryed flipping plane to display back as it is set to false, but not ideally the animation I was looking for- Cheers
You could create components in a file, add it to a team then grab them in the asset library , but components at the moment are super janky. Working on fixing them soon.
Thanks for the tutorial Daniel! Bezel seems like really nice and simple toolkit. One question: When I change the opacity of a panel in one state, it seems to update in all states, so I can't achieve the transition you demonstrated. Any tips?
Hi, Amazing video ! I have a question : In the pass through moment, the panels seemed a bit darker… Is that a recording artifact, or did it indeed look darker ?
Great video Daniel, thank you! Somehow when I'm trying to change the opacity within the material between state it doesn't work and record the change of opacity. Any idea how to fix it? Cheers
I would check out this video. 👉 th-cam.com/video/GKsxsZhJ0Sc/w-d-xo.html We are constantly making updates to the product and how it works, so its changing quickly.
@@marqusee I am a designer and using this approach was more intuitive (coming from Figma). I selected a trigger object and then from a dropdown a pick the affected object and its starting state and boom! (very simple). Now, I need to duplicate states and create connections between them and try to find the triggering object hahaha do not get me wrong, I am not telling it is bad, it was just like a punch in the face hahaha. You went from a very traditional solution to a no-code node-based approach... You should consider having both options and activate them with a toggle or something like tback in the day with the old 3DSmax or maya.
Hi Daniel, In my case the back and forth button don't provide me an option to add interaction. Though I followed every single step but still the feature to add interaction isn't appearing. It only gives me fesibility to add states. Please help
Hello Daniel, I am seeing a different inspector panel in the browser. I couldn't able to add interactions. I find the interactions as floating box at the bottom of the browser. Upon clicking the flash icon, it opens up the panel where I can find a draggable thing such as Base state, state etc.
This is an older tut and we have made some major overhauls to the state machine. Linked bellow are some newer tuts with the updated system. th-cam.com/video/GKsxsZhJ0Sc/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/Ep3RmZCGHOI/w-d-xo.html

Hi Daniel, thanks for the tutorial! I have a small problem: Not sure why but there's no add button next to material for floor. I only have a "material library" and dont know where to paste the token.
Hello Daniel, I can't find Bezel community on figma? Can you please help? Also, i am unable to join discord ...when i accept invite it says" Unable to accept invite" :/
Hey Daniel, I am unable to customize the opacity transition. Earlier when I prototyped it a month ago, it worked fine, now I am unable to and have to look at all widgets at once. Bug?
Hey, could you teach us something like a VR app like virtual tour apps to museums? I am currently doing a project similar to this and barely found any content on youtube
Cool idea! You want to create a virtual museum? People have played around that concept. It’s basically just creating a room and placing a bunch of assets.
Hey Daniel, I face two issues- 1. The prototype part was in the toolbar and didn't allow to connect with states of other groups/ layers 2. I tried viewing it on my phone but it was always very zoomed out, any suggestions on how I can improve that?
Hrmm. I can jump on a call with you to help ya! 1. The prototyping feature has been moved to the top bar. Look for the lightning bolt. 2. Bezel recently added anchoring to the product. So make sure your prototype is at the center of the world scene.
Hi for some reason I can't paste the token to Bezel and even though I type, it says invalid token. I also tried the new intergration setting and it didn't work :(
Hey Daniel! What's the recommendation for exporting image assets from figma and importing into bezel? I've noticed that the quality of 2x files appears to be quite low (pretty hard to read text) when previewed in the headset. Could you please provide some export settings recommendation?
I'm not using the Figma plugin. Just exporting images and uploading to Bezel. Will try the scale trick. The main issue at the moment is after 1 meter distance. It gets pretty pixelated. I'm guessing is just how threejs is rendering things.
hey Daniel having difficulties with opacity during animation. when i change opacity of a panel in a state it also change in the other state and vice versa.
Great work Daniel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I found this when I was looking for something like Figma for AR and I hope I got it. Few questions on using this, 1. Can we run this prototype in Nreal Air glasses? 2. May I know what other XR devices will it support? 3. Should we install any applications or plugins or configure the AR device to experience the prototype?
1. It should be able to run on any browser based WebXR device. 2. Same as above. 3. Depending on your device you will need to have a browser that supports WebXR. Oculus has one by default, so does Nreal. So if you have one of those browsers, it should work.
Polite question:Could you make a video explaining the comparison between the two tools Bezel and ShapesXR?//I am a Chinese viewer, maybe because my comments are translated by Google, I hope you can understand them.😊🥰
1st time I used this - worked like a charm (thank you so much for such a great and easy tutorial!!) 2nd time - it asks me to tilt my head like last time and the frame appears but this time it's not working . Tried restarting but still nothing - please help!!
What is the use with this kind of work to the real world and users. Wearing a VR headset and looking about the interface ? We already have mobiles and laptops, touch pads. But what is the exact use case with this kind of projects I just want to understand better.
Hello Daniel, The Bezi prototype is not working on Android Tablet. Can you suggest a way, please? This is quite urgent to test my dissertation project.

This is so cool, definitely trying it out
Let me know how you like it! Also if there are any design features that you want, let me know!
Phenomenal. Totally eye-opening - and very excited for the possibilities that this tool offers.
Thanks bud!
i am about to do a full prototype for VR. going to look into Bezel now
Rad dude! Share your stuff when you’re done!
COOL! THANKS 😃😆🕺 Super Tutoriall 😍
You're welcome!

Can the AR interative prototype be viewed on Ipad since I don't have the head
set?
Theoretically, yes. But it will be a major pain.
And how do you import components? Like hover effect and carousel?
You could create components in a file, add it to a team then grab them in the asset library , but components at the moment are super janky. Working on fixing them soon.

Thanks for the tutorial Daniel! Bezel seems like really nice and simple toolkit. One question: When I change the opacity of a panel in one state, it seems to update in all states, so I can't achieve the transition you demonstrated. Any tips?
So bass state will effect all other states. I suggest making a new state and making changes there
Ok got it. Thanks for clarifying!
Hi,
Amazing video !
I have a question : In the pass through moment, the panels seemed a bit darker… Is that a recording artifact, or did it indeed look darker ?
A lot of that was my record settings. Trying to get the quest to record clearly is tough. That said there is also some major artifacting
One thing that might help with darker panels is to use the "Unlit" material instead of "Standard" in the object properties!
