In visionOS 2 beta, I have a character loaded from a Reality Composer Pro scene standing on the floor, but he isn't casting a shadow on the floor. I added a GroundingShadowComponent in RealityView, and he does cast shadows on himself (e.g., his hands cast shadows on his shoes), but I don't see any shadow on the floor. Do I need to enable something to have my character cast a show on the real-world floor?

I started a visionOS app using Apple's new "App Environment" template, and when I looked at the UV mapping for the half SkyDome, the bottom edge had a UV 'Y' value of 0.318. Naively, I had assumed the bottom edge of a half dome would have a UV 'Y' value of 0.5 (half way up the texture map). Is this the standard UV mapping for half a SkyDome? It has caused some issues when I've applied some HDRIs.

I am having a difficult time to create particle systems in Reality Composer Pro (visionOS beta 3). They tend to start to flicker and all particles disappear and reappear in semi-random intervals. I can clearly see that happening with one effect that I put inside a small box consisting of 4 transparent walls that has a solid floor. When I change the view angle the particle system starts to flicker when viewed from below its emission height. I tried all combinations of particle rendering: billboard->free, additive etc and it does not change anything. I am using the default particle image. Any help appreciated

I am trying to use onNofitication in BehaviorComponent to fire up my composed timeline actions. Which is formed up by one TransformTo action, one Hide action and followed by a Notification action indicating the other two actions are finished. With this post, I successfully send a notification to RCP to fire up my timeline with identification: NotificationCenter.default.post( name: NSNotification.Name("RealityKit.NotificationTrigger"), object: nil, userInfo: [ "RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Scene": scene, "RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Identifier": "onSomethingStart" ] ) On the other hand, to subscribe that Notification Action, I append a onReceive function below my RealityView, and succesfully received my notification private let notificationTrigger = NotificationCenter.default.publisher( for: Notification.Name("RealityKit.NotificationTrigger")) guard let entity = out.userInfo?["RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.SourceEntity"] as? Entity, let notificationName = out.userInfo?["RealityKit.NotificationTrigger.Identifier"] as? String else { return } debugPrint("Received notification: \(notificationName), entity name: \(entity.name)") Which means that my Timeline is fired up because I can received my notification in my Timeline. But the rest two actions just don't appear to be working. I played the timeline in RCP it works fine. Anything I missed to make it tick? XCode beta 16.1 VisionOS beta 9

I saw onnoffitacation in the Behavior configuration of Reality Composer pro, which asked me to enter the Nofficatition name, that is to say, this requires swift in Xcode to send a message. There is a message name in the message, so I hope you can write an list for me how to use Swift in Xcode to send a message containing the message name.

The light of RealityView can only be effective on virtual objects. I hope it can be projected into the real world. What API can be implemented?

My goal is to pin an attachment view precisely at the point where I tap on an entity using SpatialTapGesture. However, the current code doesn't pin the attachment view accurately to the tapped point. Instead, it often appears in space rather than on the entity itself. The issue might be due to an incorrect conversion of coordinates or values. My code: struct ImmersiveView: View { @State private var location: GlobeLocation? var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in guard let rootEnity = try? await Entity(named: "Scene", in: realityKitContentBundle) else { return } content.add(rootEnity) }update: { content, attachments in if let earth = content.entities.first?.findEntity(named: "Earth"),let desView = attachments.entity(for: "1") { let pinTransform = computeTransform(for: location ?? GlobeLocation(latitude: 0, longitude: 0)) earth.addChild(desView) // desView.transform = desView.setPosition(pinTransform, relativeTo: earth) } } attachments: { Attachment(id: "1") { DescriptionView(location: location) } } .gesture(DragGesture().targetedToAnyEntity().onChanged({ value in value.entity.position = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: .scene) })) .gesture(SpatialTapGesture().targetedToAnyEntity().onEnded({ value in })) } func lookUpLocation(at value: CGPoint) -> GlobeLocation? { return GlobeLocation(latitude: value.x, longitude: value.y) } func computeTransform(for location: GlobeLocation) -> SIMD3<Float> { // Constants for Earth's radius. Adjust this to match the scale of your 3D model. let earthRadius: Float = 1.0 // Convert latitude and longitude from degrees to radians let latitude = Float(location.latitude) * .pi / 180 let longitude = Float(location.longitude) * .pi / 180 // Calculate the position in Cartesian coordinates let x = earthRadius * cos(latitude) * cos(longitude) let y = earthRadius * sin(latitude) let z = earthRadius * cos(latitude) * sin(longitude) return position } } struct GlobeLocation { var latitude: Double var longitude: Double }

Hi everyone, I'm developing a visionOS app using SwiftUI and RealityKit, and I'm encountering an issue with the pivot points of primitive shapes created in Reality Composer Pro. Scenario: When I use Reality Composer Pro within Xcode to add primitive shapes (such as cubes, capsules, etc.) to my scene, the pivot points for these objects seem to be set incorrectly. The pivot is located far from the actual object, which affects transformations and positioning. Question: Is there a way to correct or adjust the pivot point for primitive shapes created in Reality Composer Pro? Additional Information: I’ve attached a screenshot illustrating the issue with the pivot point being misaligned. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! Best, Siddharth

I am using Model3D to display an RCP scene/model in my UI. How can I get to the entities so I can set material properties to adjust the appearance? I looked at interfaces for Model3D and ResolvedModel3D and could not find a way to get access to the RCP scene or RealityKit entity.

My visionOS app has over 150 3D models that work flawlessly via firebase URL. I also have some RealityKitContent scenes (stored locally) that are getting pretty large so I'm looking to move those into firebase as well and call on them as needed. I can't find any documentation that has worked for this and can't find anyone that's talked about it. Does anyone know if this possible? I tried exporting the Reality Composer Pro scenes as USDZ's and then importing them in but kept getting material errors. Maybe there's a way to call on each 3D model separately and have RealityKit build them into the scene? I'm not really sure. Any help would be much appreciated !

In Reality View, I want to move an entity A to the position of entity B, but I can't determine the coordinates of entity B (for example, entity B is tracking the hand). What's the solution?

RealityContentKit bundle resource issue Recently I always encounter weird loading bugs from RealityKitContent bundle. When I was trying to load audio resource as AudioFileResource or AudioFileGroupResource by loading from *.usda from RealityKitContent bundle, with this method. My code is nothing complicated but simple as below: let primPath: String = "/SampleAudios/SE_bounce_audio" guard let resource = try? AudioFileGroupResource.load(named: primPath, from: "MyScene.usda", in: realityKitContentBundle) else { return } And the runtime program "sometimes"(whenever I change something RCP it somethings work again but the behavior is unpredictable) reports that it "Cannot find MyScene.usda:/SampleAudios/SE_bounce_audio in RealityKitContent.bundle". I put MyScene.usda under the root folder of RealityKitContent package because I found that RealityKit just cannot find any *.usda scene if you didn't put that on the root level (could be a bug because of the way it indexes its files). I even double checked my .usda file with usdview, the primPath is absolutely correct. I think there are some unknown issues when RealityKitContent copy resources and build the package. I tried to play with the package Package.swift file a bit to see if I could manually copy my resources (everything) and let the package carry my resources but it just didn't work. So right now I just keep this file untouched below (just upgrade the swift-tools-version to 6.0 as only that can supports .visionOS(.v2)): // swift-tools-version:6.0 // The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package. import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "RealityKitContent", platforms: [ .visionOS(.v2) ], products: [ // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, and make them visible to other packages. .library( name: "RealityKitContent", targets: ["RealityKitContent"]), ], dependencies: [ // Dependencies declare other packages that this package depends on. // .package(url: /* package url */, from: "1.0.0"), ], targets: [ // Targets are the basic building blocks of a package. A target can define a module or a test suite. // Targets can depend on other targets in this package, and on products in packages this package depends on. .target( name: "RealityKitContent" ), ] ) That is just issue one, RealityKitContent package build issue. Audio file format issue Another is about Audio File Format RCP supports. I remember is a place (WWDC?) saying .wav and .mp4 are supported to be used as audio source. But when I try to set up Spatial Audio, I find sometimes *.wav or *.mp3 can also be imported as AudioSourceFile. But the behavior is unpredictable. With two *.wav files SE_ball_hit_01.wav and SE_ball_hit_02.wav, only SE_ball_hit_01.wav is supported, 02 is reported as the format is not supported/ Check out my screenshots to see the details of two files. Two files have almost the same format (same sample rate or channel). I understand there might be different requirements for a source file to be used as Spatial or Ambient audio. But I haven't figured that out or there is nothing I can find helpful on Apple Documentation. So what is the rules? Thanks for reading and any thought is welcomed.

I have been digging into learning shader graphs by watching Unity shader graph content, cause lots of the same concepts apply. One thing I noticed was that in Unity, each node in the shader graph has a little preview. I don't think this exists in Reality Composer Pro, but is there anyway to mimic it (like can I hook up a node that allows me to debug the graph at that point?) If not, I'm happy to just file a feedback about it, but just thought I'd ask!

From my early testing it seems like the object tracking works best for static objects. For example, if I am holding something in my hand the object tracker is slow to update. Is there anything that can be modified to decrease the tracking latency? I noticed that the Enterprise API has some override features is this something that can only be done using Enterprise?

In RealityView I have two entities that contain tracking components and collision components, which are used to follow the hand and detect collisions. In the Behaviors component of one of the entities, there is an instruction to execute action through onCollision. However, when I test, they cannot execute action after collisions. Why is this?

Hello, I am developing a VisionOS based application, that uses the various data providers like Image Tracking, Plane Detection, Scene Reconstruction but these are not supported on VisionOS Simulator. What is the Work Around for this issue ?

I have a model entity (from Reality Composer Pro) I want to change the material of the model entity inside swift. The material is also imported in reality composer pro. I am copying the USDZ file of the material in the same directory as the script. This is the code I am using to reference the Material. do { // Load the file data if let materialURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "BlackABSPlastic", withExtension: "usdz") { let materialData = try Data(contentsOf: materialURL) // Check the first few bytes of the data to see if it matches expected types let headerBytes = materialData.prefix(4) let headerString = String(decoding: headerBytes, as: UTF8.self) // Print out the header information for debugging print("File header: \(headerString)") // Attempt to load the ShaderGraphMaterial let ScratchedMetallicPaint = try await ShaderGraphMaterial( named: "BlackABSPlastic", from: materialData ) print(ScratchedMetallicPaint) } else { print("BlackABSPlastic.usdz file not found.") } } catch { // Catch the error and print it print("BlackABSPlastic load failed: \(error)") // Attempt to infer file type based on the error or file content if let error = error as? DecodingError { switch error { case .typeMismatch(let type, _): print("Type mismatch: Expected \(type)") case .dataCorrupted(let context): print("Data corrupted: \(context.debugDescription)") default: print("Decoding error: \(error)") } } else { print("Unexpected error: \(error)") } } I am receiving these errors: File header: PK TBB Global TLS count is not == 1, instead it is: 2 Unable to create stage from in-memory buffer. BlackABSPlastic load failed: internalImportError Unexpected error: internalImportError am I doing anything wrong? I am able to access the materials of the model entity easily but this seems to something different. How can this be resolved? Thanks.

When using the sample application of object tracking with apple Vision Pro, the left eye display shows the same position of the original object's target object, but the right eye is misaligned. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Hello Dev team, 3 weeks I'm looking for how I can export a static Cinema 4D objects WITH TEXTURES to Reality Composer Pro ! I can export it directly on USDA format and it works well for the 3D model in Reality Composer Pro, BUT, I can't have the textures on my model. My model is simple not colored ! Of course I expect to have textures applied on the good place and same appearance I've in Cinema 4D. Could you give me a process to do that please ? I'm using Cinema 4D R25 and Last XCode and Reality Composer Pro beta versions. Big big thanks to the one could help me on this. It will unblock many things to me!!!! Cheers Mathis

I’m developing an app for Vision Pro and have encountered an issue related to the UI layout and model display. Here's a summary of the problem: I created an anchor window to display text and models in the hand menu UI. While testing on my Vision Pro, everything works as expected; the text and models do not overlap and appear correctly. However, after pushing the changes to GitHub and having my client test it, the text and models are overlapping. Details: I’m using Reality Composer Pro to load models and set them in the hand menu UI. All pins are attached to attachmentHandManu, and attachmentHandManu is set to track the hand and show the elements in the hand menu. I ensure that the attachmentHandManu tracks the hand properly and displays the UI components correctly in my local tests. Question: What could be causing the text and models to overlap in the client’s environment but not in mine? Are there any specific settings or configurations I should verify to ensure consistent behavior across different environments? Additionally, what troubleshooting steps can I take to resolve this issue?
