With Xcode 11 through 14, Reality Composer for Mac has been included with Xcode. Apples's own documentation states: "You automatically get Reality Composer for macOS when you install Xcode 11 or later. The app is one of the developer tools bundled with Xcode. From the menu, choose Xcode > Open Developer Tool, and select Reality Composer." This simply not the case with Xcode 15. In fact, we cannot even open existing RCPROJECTS such as the classic Experience.rcproject found in Apple's own sample code Creating a Game with Reality Composer. As an AR developer this makes my currently project virtual unworkable. It's my understanding that when Reality Composer Pro is finally released -- it will only be compatible with visionOS apps, as opposed to iOS apps that are built with RealityKit; this was certainly the case with early iterations. Apple's Creation tools for spatial apps still mention Reality Composer, but it is only available for iOS and iPadOS. Taking away such a critical tool without notice is crippling, to say the least. Any official announcements on the future state RealityKit development would be welcome.

I’m interested in evaluating the Physics capabilities of RealityKit and VisionOS. i assume that I could create Entities, add the PhysicBody Component and “simulate” and tweak settings interactively - but that’s not my experience. Is something like this possible with Beta 8?

hi I have made a simple textured planet 3D in Reality Composer Pro, and the question is how can I visualize it in the Vision Pro simulator. I already have everything installed, even the simulator works fine, but I don't know how to run what I do in RealityComposerPro, export it to vision Simulator. Any comment will be very appreciated. thank you.

Hello, I created in Blender a simple cube with 2 animations, one animation move up and down the cube and second one rotating cube on his position. I exported this file in glb format and I tried to converted using Reality Converter, unfortunately I can only see 1 animation. Is there any limitation of Reality Converter? Can I include more than 1 animation? The original file glb has the 2 animation inside, as you can see from the screenshot I checked the file using a online viewer for glb and there are no problem, both animations are in. The converter unfortunately see only the last one created. Any reason or explanation? I believe is a limitation on Reality Converter Regards

Hi! While waiting for scene understanding to work in the visionOS simulator, I am trying to bounce a virtual object off a real world wall or other real world object on iOS ;). I load my virtual objects from a Reality Composer file where I set them to participate in physics with dynamic motion type. With this I am able to have them collide with each other nicely, occlusion also works, but they go right through walls and other real world objects rather than bouncing off... I've tried a couple of variations of the following code: func makeUIView(context: Context) -> ARGameView { arView.environment.sceneUnderstanding.options.insert(.occlusion) arView.environment.sceneUnderstanding.options.insert(.physics) arView.debugOptions.insert(.showSceneUnderstanding) arView.automaticallyConfigureSession = false let config = ARWorldTrackingConfiguration() config.planeDetection = [.horizontal, .vertical] config.sceneReconstruction = .meshWithClassification arView.session.run(config) if let myScene = try? Experience.loadMyScene() { ... arView.scene.anchors.append(myScene) } return arView } I have found several references that his should "just work", e.g. in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/tech-talks/609 What am I missing? Testing on iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 16.5.1 🤔

I'm trying to make a material that has flecks of glitter in it. The main technique I've found to achieve this effect is to use a Voronoi diagram as a normal map, with various amounts of embellishment on top. The shader graph editor has a Worley noise node which is related but produces the "spider web" version of a Voronoi diagram, instead of flat polygons of a consistent color. Is there a trick for converting this Worley texture into a vanilla voronoi diagram, or am I missing something else obvious? Or is what I want not currently possible?

In RealityComposerPro, I've set up a Custom Material that receives an Image File as an input. When I manually select an image and upload it to RealityComposerPro as the input value, I'm able to easily drive the surface of my object/scene with this image. However, I am unable to drive the value of this "cover" parameter via shaderGraphMaterial.setParameter(name: , value: ) in Swift since there is no way to supply an Image as a value of type MaterialParameters.Value. When I print out shaderGraphMaterials.parameterNames I see both "color" and "cover", so I know this parameter is exposed. Is this a feature that will be supported soon / is there a workaround? I assume that if something can be created as an input to Custom Material (in this case an Image File), there should be an equivalent way to drive it via Swift. Thanks!

I've lost the camera controller in my version that came with Xcode.

When previewing the USDZ file, there is animation, but the animation disappears when imported into Reality Composer. Why is this happening? Is there an issue that has arisen?

I'm just starting to think about diving into augmented reality. Any suggestions on where I should start? For example, any good tutorials or white papers out there to get the get started with the basics and get some MVPs cranked out?

When I create an USDZ file from the original Reality Composer (non pro) and view it in the Vision OS simulator, the transforms and rotations don't look similar. For example a simple Tap and Flip behaviour does not rotate similar in Vision OS. Should we regard RC as discontinued sw and only work with RC-pro? Hopefully Apple will combine the features from the original RC into the new RC pro !

What would be the best way to go about recognizing a 3D physical object, then anchoring digital 3D assets to it? I would also like to use occlusion shaders and masks on the assets too. There's a lot of info out there, but the most current practices keep changing and I'd like to start in the right direction! If there is a tutorial or demo file that someone can point me to that would be great!

Just trying to figure out how to make an occlusion mask in Reality Composer or Reality Converter. I use Blender to make my assets and want to be able to make something similar to a portal which would require an occlusion mask.

I am learning the visionOS and in the tutorial the presenter uses the Stylized Clouds.usds. Where can I find this file to import to my Reality Composer Pro?

I wish to create an AR project with an interactive interface with help of Xcode and Reality Composer pro, how could I start?

Hi Everyone, I'm having difficult detecting custom components from RealityComposer in my xrOS app using QueryPredicate(where: ). I've got it working with a PhysicsBodyComponent so I know it's my custom component that's not being recognized somehow. I'd also like to note all the issues that my intel-based iMac is having with RealityComposer, like crashing on particle emitter add and visionOS crashing when I download textures to use. So I'm constantly paranoid that it's a system-level problem. Anyways, thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Noah

Attempting to load an entity via Entity.loadAsync(contentsOf: url) throws an error when passing a .realitycomposerpro file: "Cannot determine file format for ...Package.realitycomposerpro" AdditionalErrors=( "Error Domain=USDKitErrorDomain Code=3 "Failed to open layer } I have a VisionOs app with the same Reality Composer pro file referenced. The project automatically builds a .reality file out of the project. The project contains the realityComposerPro package as a library in the Link Binary build phase. I duplicated this setup with my iPhone app using RealityKit. Attempting to include a realityconvertpro package into my existing app. causes a build error: RealityAssetsCompile: Error: for --platform, value must be one of [xros, xrsimulator], not 'iphoneos' Usage: realitytool compile --output-reality [--schema-file ] [--derived-data ] --platform --deployment-target [--use-metal ] See 'realitytool compile --help' for more information. Lastly, I extracted the .reality file generated by a separate, working, visionOs app using reality converter pro. Attempting to actually load an entity from this file results in an error: Reality File version 9 is not supported. (Latest supported version is 7.)

I am trying to do the following code: func withBackground() -> some View { #if os(visionOS) background { Material.thin } #else background { Color.offWhite.ignoresSafeArea() } #endif } But Xcode 15 Beta 2 says the following: Unknown operating system for build configuration os How can I change the background ONLY for visionOS, while keeping it as is on the other platforms I support? Thanks!

Just getting familiar with XCode. Using Reality Composer a lot now. Ready to try coding along with with Reality Composer. Saw this demo (see link below), but I don't want to use a web server to retrieve banner information, I would prefer to embed this information directly into the USDZ file to be read with AR Quick Look. **Two questions: ** How can you get a banner like this when you open an USDZ file and edit the banner information directly (within the file itself) without using a URL? In place of the call to action button (for Apple Pay) in the demo below, I'd like to use that button to either call a phone number, send a text, or go to a web URL. Link to Apple's example with Apple Pay (see custom examples section, like for the kids' slide example on that page). https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/quick-look/ Scraps are welcome, hungry to learn.

Hello, I'm trying to build a compound object using 2 cubes. I adjusted the z value for one object to make them appear merged together. However, when I run the simulation the two objects separate. Is there something I need to set to make sure the z value doesn't change when it's running? Thanks, BVSdev composed objects, grouped together running:
