hi, I'm trying to create a virtual movie theater, but after running computeDiffuseReflectionUVs.py and applying attenuation map, I noticed the light falloff effect just covers over the objects. I used apple provided attenuation map (did not specify the attenuation map name on python script) with sample size of 6000. I thought the python script would calculate vertices and create shadow for, say, back of the chairs. Am I understanding this wrong?

We have successfully obtained the permissions for "Main Camera access" and "Passthrough in screen capture" from Apple. Currently, the video streams we have received are from the physical world and do not include the digital world. How can we obtain video streams from both the physical and digital worlds?
thank you!

Hi there
I'm using Reality Composer Pro to anchor virtual content to a .referenceobject. However by moving the referenceobject quickly, it causes tracking to stop. (I know this is a limitation so im trying to make it a feature)
IS there a way to play a USDZ animation at the last known location, after detecting that reference object is no longer being tracked? is it possible to set this up in Reality Composer pro?
Nearly everything is set up in Reality Composer pro with my immersive.scene just anchoring virtual content to the Reference object in the RCP Scene, so my immersive view just does this -
if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) {
content.add(immersiveContentEntity)
& this
.onAppear {
appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .open
}
.onDisappear {
appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .closed
}
I have tried Using SpatialTracking & WorldTrackProvider, but I'm still quite new to Swift and coding in general so im unsure how to implement in conjunction with my RCP scene and if this is actually the right way to do it.
Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

Hi there
I'm using Reality Composer Pro to anchor virtual content to a .referenceobject. However moving the referenceobject quickly causes tracking to stop. (I know this is a limitation and I am trying to embrace it as a feature)
Is there a way to play a USDZ animation at the last known location, after detecting that the reference object is no longer tracked? is it possible to set this up in Reality Composer pro?
I'm trying to get the USDZ to play before the Virtual Content disappears (due to reference object not being located). So that it smooths out the vanishing of the content.
Nearly everything is set up in Reality Composer pro with my immersive.scene just adding virtual content to the reference object which anchors it in the RCP Scene, so my immersive view just does this -
if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "Immersive", in: realityKitContentBundle) {
content.add(immersiveContentEntity)
& this
.onAppear {
appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .open
}
.onDisappear {
appModel.immersiveSpaceState = .closed
}
I have tried Using SpatialTracking & WorldTrackingProvider, but I'm still quite new to Swift and coding in general so im unsure how to implement in conjunction with my RCP scene and/or if this is the right way to go about it.
Also I have implemented this at the beginning of object tracking.
All I had to do was add a onAppear behavior to the object to play a USDZ and that works.
Doing it for disappearing (due to loss of reference object) seems to be a lot harder.

I believe I have created a videoMaterial and assigned it to a mesh with code I found in the Developer's Documentation but Im getting this error.
"Trailing closure passed to parameter of type 'String' that does not accept a closure"
I have attached a photo of the code and where the error happens.
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
help me please i cant remove little messed up pixels and they are getting more and more please help me!!

Anyone could share ideas or nodes setup to implement a gaussian blur on shader graph material, with a blur size parameter? Thanks!
In my Reality Composer Pro workflow for Vision Pro development, I’m using xcrun realitytool image to pre-compress textures into .ktx format, typically using ASTC block compression. These textures are used for cubemaps and environment assets.
I’ve noticed that regardless of the image content—whether it’s a highly detailed photo or a completely black image—once compressed with the same ASTC block size (e.g., ASTC_8x8), the resulting .ktx file size is nearly identical. There appears to be no content-aware logic that adapts the compression ratio to the actual texture complexity.
In contrast, Unreal Engine behaves differently: even when all cubemap faces are imported at the same resolution as DDS textures, the engine performs content-aware compression during packaging:
Low-complexity images are compressed more aggressively
The final packaged file size varies based on content complexity
Since Reality Composer Pro requires textures to be pre-compressed as .ktx, there’s no opportunity for runtime optimization or per-image compression adjustment.
Just wondering: is there any recommended way to implement content-aware compression for .ktx textures in Reality Composer Pro?
Or any best practices to optimize .ktx sizes based on image complexity?
Thanks!

I am still not finding resources to know how to replace hands in a full immersive Space.... I reached the goal by creating a ARKit session that can detect the USDZ hand mesh Joints and connect to the hand-tracked-joints.... but I feel that's not the best solution... I really want to use the RealityKit potential to track and replace hands (with USDZ skinned ones) in an immersive environment, but the only resources I found are from November 2023.... :(
Can someone help me?

I am trying to loop my videoMaterial. I have researched the AXQueuePlayer and AVPlayerLooper and tried to implement them into my code.
Please see attached.
There are no errors showing up but the videoMaterial is no longer working.
Please see the attached for the working code that plays the videoMaterial.
I am stumped can anyone help me solve this?
Thank you.

I have a simple visionOS app that creates an Entity, writes it to the device, and then attempts to load it. However, when the entity file get overwritten, it affects the ability for the app to load it correctly.
Here is my code for saving the entity.
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
import UniformTypeIdentifiers
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
ToggleImmersiveSpaceButton()
Button("Save Entity") {
Task {
// if let entity = await buildEntityHierarchy(from: urdfPath) {
let type = UTType.realityFile
let filename = "testing.\(type.preferredFilenameExtension ?? "bin")"
let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent(filename)
do {
let mesh = MeshResource.generateBox(size: 1, cornerRadius: 0.05)
let material = SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, isMetallic: true)
let modelComponent = ModelComponent(mesh: mesh, materials: [material])
let entity = Entity()
entity.components.set(modelComponent)
print("Writing \(fileURL)")
try await entity.write(to: fileURL)
} catch {
print("Failed writing")
}
}
}
}
.padding()
}
}
Every time I press "Save Entity", I see a warning similar to:
Writing file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1140E7D6-D365-48A4-8BED-17BEA34E3F1E/Documents/testing.reality
Failed to set dependencies on asset 1941054755064863441 because NetworkAssetManager does not have an asset entity for that id.
When I open the immersive space, I attempt to load the same file:
import SwiftUI
import RealityKit
import UniformTypeIdentifiers
struct ImmersiveView: View {
@Environment(AppModel.self) private var appModel
var body: some View {
RealityView { content in
guard
let type = UTType.realityFile.preferredFilenameExtension
else {
return
}
let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("testing.\(type)")
guard FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: fileURL.path) else {
print("❌ File does not exist at path: \(fileURL.path)")
return
}
if let entity = try? await Entity(contentsOf: fileURL) {
content.add(entity)
}
}
}
}
I also get errors after I overwrite the entity (by pressing "Save Entity" after I have successfully loaded it once). The warnings that appear when the Immersive space attempts to load the new entity are:
Asset 13277375032756336327 Mesh (RealityFileAsset)URL/file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1140E7D6-D365-48A4-8BED-17BEA34E3F1E/Documents/testing.reality/Mesh_0.compiledmesh failure: Asset provider load failed: type 'RealityFileAsset' -- RERealityArchive: Failed to open load stream for entry 'assets/Mesh_0.compiledmesh'.
Asset 8308977590385781534 Scene (RealityFileAsset)URL/file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1140E7D6-D365-48A4-8BED-17BEA34E3F1E/Documents/testing.reality/Scene_0.compiledscene failure: Asset provider load failed: type 'RealityFileAsset' -- RERealityArchive: Failed to read archive entry.
AssetLoadRequest failed because asset failed to load '13277375032756336327 Mesh (RealityFileAsset)URL/file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1140E7D6-D365-48A4-8BED-17BEA34E3F1E/Documents/testing.reality/Mesh_0.compiledmesh' (Asset provider load failed: type 'RealityFileAsset' -- RERealityArchive: Failed to open load stream for entry 'assets/Mesh_0.compiledmesh'.)
The order of operations to make this happen:
Launch app
Press "Save Entity" to save the entity
"Open Immersive Space" to view entity
Press "Save Entity" to overwrite the entity
"Open Immersive Space" to view entity, failed asset load request
Also
Launch app, the entity should still be save from last time the app ran
"Open Immersive Space" to view entity
Press "Save Entity" to overwrite the entity
"Open Immersive Space" to view entity, failed asset load request
NOTE: It appears I can get it to work slightly better by pressing the "Save Entity" button twice before attempting to view it again in the immersive space.
Is there any way to convert TextureResource to Image
是对原本VisionPro每个App的内存限制做了扩展嘛?放宽了内存限制么?
