I am working on an AR application in which i am rendering a 3D model.
Upon tapping a child node i am displaying a gif image by creating animation using CALayer and loading it in diffuse.contents by following this thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24125701/set-contents-of-calayer-to-animated-gif/41646638#41646638
let animation : CAKeyframeAnimation = createGIFAnimation(url: gifImageURL!)!
let layer = CALayer()
layer.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width:600, height:200)
layer.add(animation, forKey: "contents")
let newMaterial = SCNMaterial()
newMaterial.isDoubleSided = true
newMaterial.diffuse.contents = layer
let plane = SCNPlane(width: 5, height: 5)
plane.materials = [newMaterial]
let node = SCNNode(geometry: plane)
self.sceneView.scene.rootNode.addChildNode(node)
I am able to render the gif image in SCNNode but it is displaying only half of it(Right bottom most portion of gif is only visible). I tried below steps to rectify this but still in vain
- Changing Plane's width/height
- Changing the bounds of CALayer
- Tried with different sizes of gif image
Anyone please help me how to render a full gif image in SCNPlane using CALayer.
Hi Yali, there are some known issues with setting SCNMaterialProperty diffuse contents to CALayer. In a high level attempt to rule those out, what happens if you use a `UIView` as the material contents instead? Configure the UIView's CALayer in the same manner as before, or use UIImageView properties to set the gif images. I know that setting UIView as material contents is not documented yet but it will be done soon.
