Hello I would like to know how to combine 2 animations with RealityKit (one animation for the arms and one for the legs for example) I saw this apple demo that seems to explain it but I don't understand at all how to do it... Thanks

Hello experts, I'm trying to implement a material with custom shader code, but I saw that visionOS doesn't allow you to inject custom Metal functions or use CustomMaterial like iOS/macOS, nor can you directly write Metal Shading Language (.metal) and use it through ShaderGraphMaterial. So my question is, if i want to implement your own shader code, how should i do it?

This week, I developed a small multiplatform RealityKit project. I also created a demo scene in Reality Composer Pro. Afterward, I imported the local package into the project. Running the project on macOS works perfectly. However, when I tried to run it on my iPhone, I encountered a permission error indicating that it couldn’t read the package. This seems unusual to me because I assumed that the dependency is bundled into the binary file. In an attempt to resolve the issue, I pushed the RCP package to GitHub, hoping it would work. Fortunately, everything compiles successfully now, but the loading time is significantly long, and the animations don’t play on tap gestures. Could someone please help me identify the root cause of this problem?

I want to use reality to create a custom material that can use my own shader and support Mesh instancing (for rendering 3D Gaussian splating), but I found that CustomMaterial does not support VisionOS. Is there any other interface that can achieve my needs? Where can I find examples?

I've loaded a ShaderGraphMaterial from a RealityKit content bundle and I'm attempting to access the initial values of its parameters using getParameter(handle:), but this method appears to always return nil: let shaderGraphMaterial = try await ShaderGraphMaterial(named: "MyMaterial", from: "MyFile") let namedParameterValue = shaderGraphMaterial.getParameter(name: "myParameter") // This prints the value of the `myParameter` parameter, as expected. print("namedParameterValue = \(namedParameterValue)") let handle = ShaderGraphMaterial.parameterHandle(name: "myParameter") let handleParameterValue = shaderGraphMaterial.getParameter(handle: handle) // Expected behavior: prints the value of the `myParameter` parameter, as above. // Observed behavior: prints `nil`. print("handleParameterValue = \(handleParameterValue)") Is this expected behavior? Based on the documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/shadergraphmaterial/getparameter(handle:) I'd expect getParameter(handle:) to return the value of the parameter, just as getParameter(name:) does. I've tested this on iOS 18.5 and iOS 26.0 beta 2. Assuming this getParameter(handle:) works as designed, is the following ShaderGraphMaterial extension an appropriate workaround, or can you recommend a better approach? Thank you. public extension ShaderGraphMaterial { /// Reassigns the values of all named material parameters using the handle-based API. /// /// This works around an issue where, at least as of RealityKit 26.0 beta 2 and /// earlier, `getParameter(handle:)` will always return `nil` when used to read the /// initial value of a shader graph material parameter read using /// `ShaderGraphMaterial(named:from:in:)`, whereas `getParameter(name:)` will work /// as expected. private mutating func copyNamedParametersToHandles() { for parameterName in self.parameterNames { if let value = self.getParameter(name: parameterName) { let handle = ShaderGraphMaterial.parameterHandle(name: parameterName) do { try self.setParameter(handle: handle, value: value) } catch { assertionFailure("Cannot set parameter value") } } } } }

I need a MeshResource from ModelEntity to generate a box collider, but ModelEntity fails to load USDZ files from the Reality Composer Pro (RCP) bundle. This code works for loading an Entity: // Successfully loads as generic Entity previewEntity = try await Entity(named: fileName, in: realityKitContentBundle) But this fails when trying to load as ModelEntity: // Fails to load as ModelEntity modelEntity = try await ModelEntity(named: fileName, in: realityKitContentBundle) I found this thread mentioning: "You'll likely go from USDZ to Entity which contains a MeshResource when you load/init the USDZ file." But it doesn't explain ​how to actually extract the MeshResource. Could anyone advise: How to properly load USDZ files as ModelEntity from RCP bundles? How to extract MeshResource from a successfully loaded Entity? Alternative approaches to generate box colliders if direct extraction isn't possible? Sample code for extraction or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

I'm an experienced SceneKit developer and I want to begin work on a new project using RealityKit. So I appreciated as timely, the WWDC 2025 Session, "Bring your SceneKit project to RealityKit". However, now I am finding that: Blender does not properly support exporting armatures in usdc files, and usdc is really the only file format that should be used for creating 3D assets for RealityKit. The option of exporting from Blender to fbx or some other intermediate format, and then converting that to usdc, is a challenge. Apple's Reality Converter App, which supposedly can support importing and converting fbx files to usdc, is no longer available from Apple's website. And an older copy of it I found at the Kodeco website requires Rosetta on Apple Silicon. As well, this older copy does not in fact import fbx or anything else - I find it doesn't work at all. Apple's Reality Composer Pro, at least as far as I can tell, only supports importing usdc - it is not a file conversion tool. Alternatively, I am under the impression that Maya supports producing usdc files with armatures, but Maya costs over $2000 per year and I am skilled with Blender, so I believe strongly that I should be able to continue with Blender. Maya's expense and skillset simply shouldn't be a requirement for building RealityKit applications. What are my options then, if any, to produce assets with armatures and armature based animations using Blender, and then bring them into RealityKit?

I'm using a class with tangents to render on RealityKit for VisionOS but in Vision26 it cause a crash on App and there not documentation how implement cp_drawable_compute_projection I have tried a few options but without success. Could you help me to implement it ? The part of code is: return drawable.views.map { view in let userViewpointMatrix = (simdDeviceAnchor * view.transform).inverse let projectionMatrix = ProjectiveTransform3D( leftTangent: Double(view.tangents[0]), rightTangent: Double(view.tangents[1]), topTangent: Double(view.tangents[2]), bottomTangent: Double(view.tangents[3]), nearZ: Double(drawable.depthRange.y), farZ: Double(drawable.depthRange.x), reverseZ: true ) let screenSize = SIMD2(x: Int(view.textureMap.viewport.width), y: Int(view.textureMap.viewport.height)) return ModelRendererViewportDescriptor(viewport: view.textureMap.viewport, projectionMatrix: .init(projectionMatrix), viewMatrix: userViewpointMatrix * translationMatrix * rotationMatrix * scalingMatrix * commonUpCalibration, screenSize: screenSize) }

I'm looking to create an effect on iOS that tracks the user's face position with ARKit and shifts nearer/more prominent geometry in the scene around while more "distant" geometry stays fixed to the XY plane - making it look like the geometry on screen "sticks out" I've managed to implement most of this successfully, but it's not perfect when using PerspectiveCameraComponent in RealityKit because as I shift the camera (and change its field of view based on the user's distance) the backplane changes its orientation (it's always orthogonal to camera's direction). I've tried adopting ProjectiveTransformCameraComponent instead. The idea is that the camera shifts around the scene, mirroring the user's head's position, looking at (0,0,0) and the back plane is adjusted to be parallel with the X,Y plane (animation replicated in Blender below). However, I can't manage to set up ProjectiveTransformCameraComponent with an appropriate matrix or update its transform property in a RealityKit System correctly. I also tried setting many simpler projection matrices as described in a number of guides on camera projection matrices on the internet and all I get is a blank view. Does anyone have some guidance on what the projection matrix that ProjectiveTransformCameraComponent expects is meant to look like or how I would go about accomplishing my goal?

We're using RealityKit to create a science education AR app for iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. In the WWDC25 session video "Bring your SceneKit project to RealityKit" https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/288 at 8:15, it's explained that when using RealityKit, RealityView should be used in all cases, whereas in the past, SceneKit required SCNView, SceneView, or ARSCNView, depending on an app's requirements. Because the initial development of our app on iOS predates iOS 18's RealityView, our app currently uses ARView to render RealityKit AR content on iOS and iPadOS. Is it recommended that we migrate to RealityView, or can we safely continue using our existing ARView implementation? We'd prefer to avoid unnecessary development cost. If migrating from ARView to RealityView is recommended, what specific benefits should we expect from this transition? Thank you.

Hi! I watched the WWDC25 session "Bring your SceneKit project to RealityKit" which seemed like a great resource for those of us transitioning from the now-deprecated SceneKit framework. The session mentioned that the full sample code for the project would be available to download, but I haven't been able to find it in the Code section of the video page or in the Sample Code Library. Has the sample code been released yet? Having the project code would make it much easier to follow along with the RealityKit changes shown in the video. Thanks again for the great session.

What is the recommended way to attach SwiftUI views to RealityKit entities on macOS, iOS, etc? All the APIs seem to be visionOS only: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/realityviewattachments https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/viewattachmentcomponent https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/presentationcomponent https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/imagepresentationcomponent My only idea is to do it "manually" with a ZStack and RealityView somehow? I submitted this as a feedback since it seemed like an oversight: FB18034856.

Had anyone experienced convexCast causing a crash and what might be behind it? Here's the call stack:

Hi, following the recent deprecation of SceneKit, I'm trying to move a couple of my SceneKit projects to RealityKit. One thing I can't seem to find is how to change the content scale factor when using a RealityView in SwiftUI. It was really easy to do in SceneKit with just a SCNView property, and it seems that it's also possible when using ARView, but I can't find a way to do it with a RealityView. Maybe it's a SwiftUI limitation?

I am an AR developer working on Apple Silicon Macs. Currently, Reality Composer Pro does not allow exporting .reality files, and Reality Composer (classic) is not available for Apple Silicon. This creates a gap in the workflow for ARKit/RealityKit developers who need interactive .reality files for use in Xcode projects. Having the ability to export .reality files directly from Reality Composer Pro on Mac would greatly streamline development and enable a fully native workflow on modern Macs. Alternatively, bringing Reality Composer (classic) to Apple Silicon would also resolve this issue. I have submitted this as a feature request via Feedback Assistant (FB17900386). I encourage others with similar needs to reply or submit feedback as well. Thank you!

I'm new here so I don't know what's this function belongs to which topic... Sorry about that! I watched the WWDC stream and I am really interested in this function, I'm wondering if this function could be used in my apps. I looked up the document but I find it only support visionOS(i'm not sure about that, but I saw the demo is base on the visionOS)

As part of the WWDC25 Keynote, a technology was announced that can present 2D images as 3D spatial scenes. This announcement is supported by a Press Release. ...developers can use the Spatial Scene API to make their app experience even more immersive. Zillow is taking advantage of the API for their Zillow Immersive app, allowing users to see images of homes and apartments with the rich depth and dimension that spatial scenes offer. The feature also appears in the Photos App on iOS 26 Developer Beta 1. Tapping "Spatial Scene" on any photo opens a view of that photo with a parallax effect. I've searched the WWDC sessions and new documentation and have come up short. Reaching out here for help. Is there any documentation for Spatial Scene API? Or any guidance on how to implement the spatial scene in iOS?

our app is live, and it appears that since the ios 18 update - the VideoMaterial renders pink / purple color instead of the video (picture attached). the audio is rendered properly. we found that it occurs on old devices: iPhone 11 & iPhone SE 2020. I've found this thread of Andy Jazz on stackoverflow: Steps to Reproduce: Create a plane for the video screen. Apply a VideoMaterial using AVPlayerItem. Anchor the model entity to an ARImageAnchor. Expected Outcome: The video should play as a material on the plane in RealityKit. Actual Outcome: On iOS 18, the plane appears pink, indicating the VideoMaterial isn’t applied. What I’ve Tried: -Verified the video URL is correct. -Checked that the AVPlayerItem and VideoMaterial are initialised correctly. -Ensured the AVPlayer is playing the video. I also tried different formats (mov / mp4 / m4v), and verifying that the video's status is readyToPlay. any suggestions?
