I have a rkasset package, from which I load my scene. In the scene, I'm using entity.findEntity(named:"..") to find entities to activate/deactivate. When I have entities deactivated in the *.usda, they are not found with this method. Further inspection shows that the deactivated entities seem not to be compiled into the build. Is there anything I can set that prevents skipping the build for these deactivated entities?

The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos/designing-realitykit-content-with-reality-composer-pro states: Reality Composer Pro treats your imported assets as read-only. This is a huge obstacle for me, as I need to do multiple adjustments to the scene. I somehow managed to actually import one of my assets into the scene and can manipulate it directly, but now I can't figure out how I did this. As I have to prepare further assets and would like to do this directly in Reality Composer Pro, I'm looking for a way to actually load them into the scene. Any idea how this can be done?

I have been experimenting some experiences in which I would like to use SharePlay to allow the app to be used by multiple users. Currently I achieved sharing a volume containing a Reality Composer Pro scene inside of it, the scene contains some entities with an animation. So far I have been able to correctly share the volume and its content, with the animation playing without problems, but once I activate SharePlay different users see different moments of the animation if no animation at all. Is there a way to synchronize animations between all the users, no matter when someone entered the SharePlay session, aside from communicating the animation time once someone joins?

Hello! I would like to do exactly this: https://youtu.be/Cun8K7ctKp0?si=TgWvtdw-VdlBVL0R I can't seem to find any documentation on getting a PS5 controller hooked up properly in Reality Composer Pro and Xcode, driving a character with animation (or, moving an object around freely) then over to the Vision Pro. Additionally, I would also like to learn how to use a controller to move a VR camera around a scene, so that we can navigate in custom built spaces - similar to Meta virtual environments, or Steam VR home environments. Typically, I would do this with Unreal Engine, but unfortunately, AVP support is still in its infancy there. So I figured, why not try to do it natively? Any help with concrete tutorials or documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thx!

If I create a visionOS app project, it automatically creates a RealityKitContent package. However, if I create a Multiplatform project (for visionOS, macOS, and iOS), the package is not added. Is it possible to add it manually? How? (using Xcode 16.1 beta 2)

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 a list for me how to use Swift in Xcode to send a message containing the message name.(There is an answer in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756978, but it doesn't work.) and in the time line in Reality Composer Pro, there is a Notification action, which is used to send messages to swift. How can I ask swift to detect whether the Notification action has sent a message?(There is an answer in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10102/, but it doesn't work.) I have asked this question before (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/756978). Those answers were available before, but now they are all invalid in the latest system. I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Given my limited knowledge of physics, I would appreciate it if individuals with a solid understanding of the subject could provide insights into this matter. I have added a physical component to a entity in Reality Composer Pro, but I am seeking guidance on how to achieve the following: Make an object float in the air (with a slight downward motion reminiscent of the moon’s surface) Enable the object to move at a slow pace Implement a strong rebound force I would be grateful if you could provide appropriate values for these parameters. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello! I am working on some cool project reconstructions for a client. They design lobby sized installations with LED walls. I am being tasked with converting these over to AR at scale. I've got my first test in headset and it looks great! However, the desire to just walk around more than the 10' x 10' safe area zone totally takes one out of the immersive VR experience - which is pretty counter intuitive. Is there any way for us developers to by pass this hard limit, so that clients who are requesting more room-scale options can actually enjoy this in VR? Alternatively, is there a way to hook up a PS5 controller to a "player start" so I can navigate inside the VR volume? I'm really trying to embrace Reality Composer Pro, but it seems extremely limiting as I wait for Unreal Engine to get its act together. sigh. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

In RealityKit, I know that an HDR image is pre-calculated, and through the settings of the ImageBasedLight Component, a specified specular object can reflect the content of the HDR image. If a mirror object is originally very large, such as a large-area continuous glass door, after specifying an IBL image for these glass doors, the image reflected by the mirror will be obviously deformed when it moves in space. Because IBL is a picture of the surrounding environment at a point, while the glass door is a surface. Is there a truly real-time specular reflection calculation setup in RealityKit that can reflect the model on the opposite side of the glass door?

I have no clue at all. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

How to create fire effect in Reality Composer Pro? Should I use particle emitter?

Behavior: Orbit animation doesn't show up. Both for OnTap trigger and OnAddedToScene trigger. It is not an issue with my code because I tested with an emphasize float animation and it works perfectly. Environment: ARKit + RealityKit, iOS18 My animation timeline settings: A simple Orbit animation block with a target, a pivot entity. 1s duration, orbit direction clockwise, axis(0,1,0), 1 revolution, and blend layer 300. My Behavior setting: OnTap -> play the animation

TLDR: Timeline does not play animation when Repeat Forever is checked. Hi! I have created a timeline for my model that does a built-in emphasize animation. Then I added a behavior to my model and has set OnAddedToScene with action to run that timeline. It works perfect well on my device. But I want the timeline to be looped. I realized that there's no loop option in the timeline, but I noticed that I can loop it if I insert it into another timeline(The loop checkbox shows up). So I did that and had my model's behavior to run that timeline. But then the model doesn't play the animation as intended. Note: I am not making a VisionPro app, but an iOS app leveraging ARKit and RealityKit Environment: iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS18.0 Code: struct ARViewContainer: UIViewRepresentable { func makeUIView(context: Context) -> ARView { let arView = ARView(frame: .zero) arView.session.run() Task { do { let anchor = AnchorEntity(plane: .horizontal) let emojiScene = try await Entity(named: "SunglassesScene", in: bubbleAR anchor.addChild(emojiScene) arView.scene.addAnchor(anchor) } catch { print("Failed to load models: \(error)") } } return arView } } Thank you!

The 3D furniture model I built uses some smooth specular reflection materials. I hope to only reflect the HDR image of the ImageBasedLight component I set myself, without reflecting the light source of the AR real environment. How to achieve this in the following scenario? How to avoid being affected by the light source of the AR real environment when using PBR materials When using Shader Graph, how can EnvironmentRadiance not be affected by the light source of the AR real environment?

A ShaderGraphMaterial with an Occlusion Surface Output generated with RealityComposer 2 fails to load on iOS 18 and macOS 15 with the following error: RealityFoundation.ShaderGraphMaterial.LoadError.invalidTypeFound (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/shadergraphmaterial/loaderror/invalidtypefound) This happens with both https://developer.apple.com/documentation/shadergraph/realitykit/occlusion-surface-(realitykit) and https://developer.apple.com/documentation/shadergraph/realitykit/shadow-receiving-occlusion-surface-(realitykit) RealityView { content in do { let bgEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateCone(height: 0.5, radius: 0.1), materials: [SimpleMaterial(color: .red, isMetallic: true)]) bgEntity.position.z = -0.2 content.add(bgEntity) let occlusionMaterial = try await ShaderGraphMaterial(named: "/Root/OcclusionMaterial", from: "OcclusionMaterial") let testEntity = ModelEntity(mesh: .generateSphere(radius: 0.4), materials: [occlusionMaterial]) content.add(testEntity) content.cameraTarget = testEntity } catch { print("Shader Graph Load Error:") dump(error) } } .realityViewCameraControls(.orbit) .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) Feedback ID: FB15081296

The ShaderGraph Node Blurred Background (RealityKit) – https://developer.apple.com/documentation/shadergraph/realitykit/blurred-background-(realitykit) works fine within the RealityComposer Pro 2 editor but isn't working on iOS 18 or macOS 15. Instead of the blurred content it just renders as opaque in a single color (Screenshot 2). Interestingly it also fails to render within RealityComposer Pro when no other entities are within the scene, e.g only a background skybox set. Expected Behavior: It would be great if this node worked the same way as it does on visionOS since this would allow for really interesting and nice effects for scenes. Feedback ID: FB15081190

Is there a good way to have an app open scenes from Reality Composer Pro, without that scene being part of the app? Kind of like you would browse any other file. I have a business where I provide walk throughs in building plans. I do this by building an app containing a Reality Composer Pro scene containing the customers building. For each customer I will duplicate the app and change the Scene content. (One app per customer) In order to scale my business I would love to be able to distribute the scenes to the customers so they could just open them in the app, but I don't see how to to that. If you have any idea as to how this can be done it would be great! I have very little experience in coding, so please assume I don't know what you are talking about when explaining

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 want to use SIMD values with a design time component. public struct SomeComponent: Component, Codable { public var Magnitude: SIMD3 = .zero } Is extra work required? I had understood that serialization of simple values including SIMD would be handled by Reality Composer Pro.
