I am trying to make a shader for a disco ball lighting effect for my app. I want the light to reflect on the scene mesh. i was curious if anyone has pointers on how to do this in shader graph in reality composer pro or writing a surface shader. The effect rotates the dots as the ball spins. This is the effect in the apple clips that applies the effect to the scene mesh

I have a plane that is stereoscopic so represents to the user depth that is beyond the plane. I would like to have the options to render the depth buffer for the pixels or to not render any information into the depth for the plane. I cannot see any option in Shader Graph Material to affect the depth buffer during render. I also cannot see any way in RealityKit to not render to the depth buffer for an entity. I'm open to any suggestions.

Hello everyone, I have just started learning the development and learning of visionPro app. I have a scene called Scene, and inside it is an object called Sphere. I want to add a drag animation to this Sphere alone. I follow the code below to achieve it. But my Sphere cannot actually be dragged in the Apple simulator. What is the reason? struct ContentView: View { @State var enlarge = false @State var offset: Point3D = .zero @State var sphereEntity: Entity? var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Scene", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(scene) sphereEntity = content.entities.first?.findEntity(named: "Sphere") sphereEntity?.components.set(InputTargetComponent(allowedInputTypes: .all)) } }.gesture(DragGesture().targetedToEntity(sphereEntity ?? Entity()).onChanged({ value in print(value.location3D) sphereEntity?.position = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: sphereEntity?.parent! ?? Entity()) })) .gesture(SpatialTapGesture().targetedToAnyEntity().onEnded({ _ in print("Ssssssss") })) .onAppear() { } } }

It slows down the device, screws with user interaction -- which makes exponentially worse the ridiculous one minute capture time.

I currently have an iOS app that transmits h264 code through wifi, uses videotoolbox to decode and displays it with MTKView, and I want to implement similar functions in visionOS. What should I do? MTKView is not available on visionOS

Hi, I'm trying to have an entity (and some attachments to it) to rotate. If I add the entity to content, add the attachment as a child entity, and set the entity as InputTargetComponent, then when I add a gesture ONLY the entity rotates and NOT the attachments (added as child entities). If I add a parent entity with let parentEntity = ModelEntity(), add my entity to the parentEntity, then add the attachments to an entity (which is now a child of the ModelEntity) and set the ModelEntity as InputTargetComponent then the whole thing rotates (including attachments) I'm sure there must be a bug, why would it work only with an added ModelEntity? Anyway, bug or not a bug, the problem I have now is that it rotates around the axes of the ModelEntity, not my primary entity, which is what I want. Is there a way to set the ModelEntity axes to be the axes of my primary child entity so it rotates like I want? What call should I use to move the axes where would I find the axes of the first child entity which should be the focus of my app? Here is my code: var body: some View { RealityView { content, attachments in // Add the initial RealityKit content if let specimenentity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) { let parentEntity = ModelEntity() parentEntity.addChild(specimenentity) content.add(parentEntity) let entityBounds = specimenentity.visualBounds(relativeTo: parentEntity) parentEntity.collision = CollisionComponent(shapes: [ShapeResource.generateBox(size: entityBounds.extents).offsetBy(translation: entityBounds.center)]) parentEntity.generateCollisionShapes (recursive: true) parentEntity.components.set(InputTargetComponent()) if let Left_Hemisphere = attachments.entity(for: "Left_Hemisphere") { //4. Position the Attachment and add it to the RealityViewContent Left_Hemisphere.position = [-0.5, 1, 0] specimenentity.addChild(Left_Hemisphere) } } } attachments: { Attachment(id: "Left_Hemisphere") { //2. Define the SwiftUI View Text("Left_Hemisphere") .font(.extraLargeTitle) .padding() .glassBackgroundEffect() } } .gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onChanged { value in let entity = value.entity var orientation = Rotation3D(entity.orientation(relativeTo: nil)) var newOrientation: Rotation3D if (value.location.x >= lastGestureValueX) { newOrientation = orientation.rotated(by: .init(angle: .degrees(0.5), axis: .y)) } else { newOrientation = orientation.rotated(by: .init(angle: .degrees(-0.5), axis: .y)) } entity.setOrientation(.init(newOrientation), relativeTo: nil) lastGestureValueX = value.location.x orientation = Rotation3D(entity.orientation(relativeTo: nil)) if (value.location.y >= lastGestureValueY) { newOrientation = orientation.rotated(by: .init(angle: .degrees(0.5), axis: .x)) } else { newOrientation = orientation.rotated(by: .init(angle: .degrees(-0.5), axis: .x)) } entity.setOrientation(.init(newOrientation), relativeTo: nil) lastGestureValueY = value.location.y } ) } }

hello, i want to video play movie file(ex mp4, mov...) in vision pro app. and i want to video play movie panorama and curved view (ex albums app > panorama picture > panorama button) in my app.

I've got a couple 2D PNG assets that I want to add to a scene made of a couple other udsz files in RCP (picture adding a couple 2D videogame characters to a simple 3D diorama). When I try to drag the PNGs to the workspace or the file tree…nothing happens. I found a walkthrough on Medium (called "Importing and Exporting Personalized Objects for Augmented Reality: Reality Composer and SwiftUI" for those curious as I can't link to Medium posts here) that makes it look like users could do this with simple drag-and-drop. The Medium post is from June 2023, and in the screenshots RCP visually looks a lot more like Reality Composer on iPad, so I'm assuming it's changed a lot since then? Is there still a way to do this? I've tried adding the 2D elements to a scene with Blenders "import images as planes," but I'm getting weird halos around them and was hoping RCP could make the process a bit easier/cleaner.

I'm following the Meet Reality Composer Pro walkthrough and ran into something that didn't function as expected. When I got to the step where I add five "Bird_With_Audio.usda" references to the scene, I found they did not play audio. After some trial and error, I found that Preview > Resource in each of their Spatial Audio items was set to "None." If I click the dropdown menu, I see several "Bird_Calls" groups to pick from. I checked the original Bird_With_Audio.usda that I had created, and the "Bird_Calls" audio group was correctly assigned and worked. I tried dragging a sixth Bird_With_Audio into the scene and confirmed that the Spatial Audio item suddenly empties, rendering the bird silent. I was able to go through each of the five birds and set their Spatial Audio Resource to Bird_Calls, and the group worked like the video demonstrates. While this fixed the issue, as a beginner I'd like to know why this happened. It doesn't seem right that I would build and item and then have to re-attach any sounds to it when I place it in the main scene. So…where did I mess up?

I'm trying to make a simple demo of using ShaderGraphMaterial in a USDZ file that I can preview on Mac and VisionOS but I'm having trouble. In Reality Composer, I make a sphere, then assign a ShaderGraphMaterial to the material, with a simple diffuse color (green) input. When I save the file as .usda, it displays as a gray sphere on mac rather than the green sphere shown in reality composer. If I then convert to usdz using Reality Converter, I get a warning on import: "Shader nodes must have “id” as the implementationSource, with id values that begin with “Usd”. Also, shader inputs with connections must each have a single, valid connection source." And the exported .usdz also shows as a gray sphere. Is there a simple demo of a .usda file using ShaderGraphMaterial that displays on Mac, iOS, and VisionOS that I can look at to see how it looks internally? My actual problem is creating usdz / usda files on visionOS for viewing on iOS / Mac / VisionOS.. but the first step is showing it's possible to even use ShaderGraphMaterial across all platforms. Thanks

I would like to add text to a Reality Composer Pro scene and set the actual text via code. How can I achieve this? I haven't seen any "Text" element in the editor.

I'm trying to better understand how loading entities works. If I do this: RealityView { content in // Add the initial RealityKit content if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "RCP_Scene", in: realityKitContentBundle) { content.add(scene) } } It returns the root with the two objects I have in the scene (sphere_01 and sphere_02). If I add a drag gesture to this entity it works on the root and gets applied to both sphere_01 and sphere_02 together (they both indiviually have collision and input components set to allow gestures). How do I get individual control of sphere_01 and sphere_02? Is it possible to load the root scene, as I'm doing above, and have individual control?

Hi, I am investigating how to emit the following in my visionOS app. https://www.hiroakit.com/archives/1432 https://blog.terresquall.com/2020/01/getting-your-emission-maps-to-work-in-unity/ Right now, I'm trying various things with Shader Graph in Reality Composer Pro, but I can't tell from the official documentation and WWDC session videos what the individual functions and combined effects of Reality Composer Pro's Shader Graph nodes are, I am having a hard time understanding the effects of the individual functions and combinations of them. I have a feeling that such luminous materials and expressions are not possible in visionOS to begin with. If there is a way to achieve this, please let me know. Thanks.

I have a custom material in Reality Composer. When I attach it to a cube and try loading the scene in XCode, the material cannot be cast to a ShaderGraphMaterial because it has been changed to a PhysicallyBasedMaterial. The material was always a Custom material, I did not change the type in Reality Composer. Does anyone know how to fix?

Hi, I create an entity and add a bunch of attachments (code is based on the Diorama demo). I can rotate the entity with this: .gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToAnyEntity() .onChanged { value in let entity = value.entity let orientation = Rotation3D(entity.orientation(relativeTo: nil)) let newOrientation: Rotation3D if (value.location.x >= lastGestureValue) { newOrientation = orientation.rotated(by: .init(angle: .degrees(0.5), axis: .y)) } else { newOrientation = orientation.rotated(by: .init(angle: .degrees(-0.5), axis: .y)) } entity.setOrientation(.init(newOrientation), relativeTo: nil) lastGestureValue = value.location.x } ) But the attachments stay still. How can I rotate the entity AND the attachment at the same time?

Hello, I've been trying to render these models in a VisionOS app using RealityKit's Model3D API. The heart seem to appear dark all the time. Any thoughts on why this would happen? Color.clear .overlay { Model3D(named: modelName, bundle: realityKitContentBundle) { model in model.resizable() .scaledToFit() .rotation3DEffect( Rotation3D( eulerAngles: .init(angles: orientation, order: .xyz) ) ) .frame(depth: modelDepth) .offset(z: -modelDepth / 2) .accessibilitySortPriority(1) } placeholder: { ProgressView() .offset(z: -modelDepth * 0.75) } } .dragRotation(yawLimit: .degrees(120), pitchLimit: .degrees(20)) .offset(z: modelDepth)

Is it possible to use an image sequence, .mov or sprite sheet as a node source for a custom material in Reality Composer Pro? I have noticed that in the particle emitter, the magic preset uses a 4x4 sprite sheet as a particle source. Can this be done within the shader graph for the diffuse or normal slot?

I am struggling to figure out how to make a shader to animate each vertex of a model separately using noise. I watched a video on how to do this in Unity, but I think something must be different with how Reality Composer Pro handles the noise nodes? For example, in this graph I just hooked up the noise node directly to the geometry modifier: In my output you can see the plane is adjust per-vertex using the noise node. My goal would be to animate this like waves, but moving the noise. So in this graph I use time with sin to adjust the UV of the noise. This seems to change the noise node to output a single value (I guess that makes sense, since I modify the UV, it results in a single value, at that UV in the noise map). So then, I take that as the Y value and put it back into the geometry modifier. But now it doesn't work per-vertex, it moves the whole model up and down (based on the single value coming out of the noise map). How do I make this apply to each vertex of the noise map individually? This is an example of the output I want in Unity, the plane is being adjusted per-vertex by a scrolling 2d noise node:
