Glad you like it!

Happy to hear that :)

That’s a good idea!

Good question. It would definitely be a welcomed feature, though extremely resource intensive. I would guess you’d have to implement this algorithm by yourself at the current moment, but it will probably make the phone overheat in a few seconds.

The versions of lightship are not made for specific phones but simply improving and adding features. If you have an older phone or a rather low end one, AR foundations features like plane detection might work better as they are less resource intense.

It uses light / shadow estimation based on the camera image :)

Yes, be aware though that the setup for an AR scene is a bit different and that there is no XR simulator in 2021

​@@AliveStudios_ so I can immediately put the object on Android?

Hi mate, do you get any error message?

I fix it already, thank you 😂

@@AliveStudios_i don’t know why when i take the photo but it don’t spawn character for me to play

Hi mate, sadly it is currently not possible to build from windows to iOS. The best option I found when researching was this: assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ios-project-builder-for-windows-15522 I don't know if this actually works though.

@@AliveStudios_ Thanks for the reply! I still have 2 more doubts since its my first time building an AR project. 1. should i be concerned about this warning that pops up in my console: Package Lightship World Positioning System (WPS) Plugin has no loader metadata. Skipping loader initialization. UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_PlayModeStateChanged (UnityEditor.PlayModeStateChange) 2. once i have all things set up, how do i get the project to run on my android device after i click build and run? like do I just have to connect my laptop to my android device via usb and the project would just appear? Hope i could get some clarification on this. thank you so much for the great help :)

Hi mate, currently there is no discount planned :)

Hi mate, currently I do not have any time / resources for more projects. But I highly encourage you to continue developing the idea and maybe even learn a bit coding yourself :)

Zappar SDK for Unity looks quite interesting for Web AR purposes, however it does not seem to support XR headsets yet, which Mattercraft does as far as I'm concerned. I might give it a try in the future.

What kind of errors do you have :) ?

​@@AliveStudios_when i click start room button 1 character appears also when i touch the plane another character appears if i click again nothing happens but 2 characters is present . these are the errors i am facing

Maybe because you are using URP as a render pipeline? I made a tutorial on using lightship / ar foundation with urp here th-cam.com/video/FLNE_ZwJlYU/w-d-xo.html

@@AliveStudios_ thnx

Yeah it could be :) But it’s showcasing a tool that allows anyone to build a game like this

Your very welcome :)

@@AliveStudios_ Hi, is it possible to add more VPS locations like when i reach Location A, it will spawn Content A while at Location B, it will spawn Content B which other Location Content will be disable/stop tracking in the same project? Cuz it seems only able to fix to one Location Content...🥺

@@yuukiasuna3739 Yes absolutely, you can add as many locations as you wish :)

Hi mate, make sure you’re calling NetworkManager.StartClient() after the server has been initialized and is ready to accept connections. If the client attempts to connect too early, it could result in this error. Ensure that the server has successfully started before the client attempts to connect. You can verify this by checking if NetworkManager.Singleton.IsServer is true on the server instance. Debug.Log("IsServer: " + NetworkManager.Singleton.IsServer); Debug.Log("IsClient: " + NetworkManager.Singleton.IsClient); Debug.Log("IsConnected: " + NetworkManager.Singleton.IsConnectedClient);

Yes, I think what you are referring to is already implemented in the VPS system from Lightship ARDK. Made a tutorial in that too: th-cam.com/video/o1Efx52tdsU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JbWPF4peE3wkdOjS

@@AliveStudios_ yes thank you for the rpely i saw the video after posting my comment. I am thinking if niantic VPS can cover a whole building or not as I am tryingot implement a digitl twin of it and have accurate alignment from 360 degree angle of the building. will give it a shot but it seems niantic VPS is more focused onto smaller objects

Thank you for the nice helmet! 🎉

were you using nodes with materiels in blender ? I can't put an image on the effect house material

There is great article on medium spatial design I am sure you will find if you Google. It is written by one of the ground breaking academic in USA who focus on spatial UX.

I'd guess what they mean is, that if the people who are able to afford the Vision Pro have no use-case for it , no one will. But I still strongly disagree with that..

Thank you I really appreciate it

It’s made with lightship which extends AR Core :)

Hi mate, you are right that Niantic owns 8th wall and Lightship ARDK. Lightship, however, is a separate product made for Unity and as far as I'm concerned, the only shared features in between those two are VPS and Shared AR, although Lightship can use fully scanned meshes for VPS and 8th wall can't. AR Meshing, Object detection, Semantic Segmentation, WPS , Nav Mesh Agent System etc. are exclusive to Lightship at the moment.

It depends on what you want to build. For my AR apps, I currently use a M1 MacBook Air with 16gb of ram. It’s doing fine, but I’d recommend a higher version e.g. M2 or M1 Pro or higher with 16 Gb of ram and ideally 1Tb of storage. You can also work with externals SSDs but this can become a bit annoying if you are dependent on it.

@@AliveStudios_ I see, alright thank you!

Hi,that’s awesome :) what would you like to discuss?

I am currently working on a big update for the Magic Bar, maybe at launch for the update there will a discount but it's not guaranteed :)

Unity has visual scripting also, at the end of the day even though they are different engines, if you learn the theory around game design and how to make games in one engine that's the most valuable part. Transferring that knowledge between the engines would not be the hard part. You're better off just starting one right now, that'll be what helps you most!

@@kiranbharadia Hello Kiran, thanks for your answer. You know, there is some kind of cat & water relationship between the artist and the programming language :) Yes when it comes to coding it is very important for us to construct an efficient workflow in the very beginning and that is the crucial case. For me, I guess there is no escape from learning the good old Bolt with it's new name. I am planning to get help from Unity's Muse for the worst scenario cases, if I choose to advance with Unity as an engine. Thanks for the chat & have a nice day.

Hi mate :) I can only take a wild guess what Niantic will do in the future. But from the current stance, I'd say it is very unlikely to come to unreal anytime soon. Niantic developed all of their games like Pokemon and Monster Hunter using Unity. Lightship ARDK is basically the collection of all their technology they built for these games over the years, meaning it's tightly coupled with Unity. Therefore there is little incentive to port all that technology to Unreal, which they do not use themself. Then Unity is known for it's focus on mobile and XR platforms, thats why most developers in these fields choose Unity, while Unreals focus is on high end AAA games. So in conclusion I'd always choose the tool that is currently suitable for what I want to do (Not maybe in the future), it makes life much easier :)

@@AliveStudios_ Oh hello Tobi. I guess I just took a free consultancy from you :D Thanks for the precise guidance. Also, It would be so cool if an old 2D artist who is also capable of making awesome 3D games with Unity&Lightship decide to make a tutorial for the very beginners of both softwares on Udemy platform. I'm just thinking out loud :) Because we can't find any tutorial that teaches both the Unity and the Lightship at the same time from the ground. As far as I see, the existing Lightship beginner tutorials assumes that you already know the Unity and the Unity beginner tutorials assumes that you don't look for learning the Lightship. By the way it is possible make a RPG-like game with Lightship by using only Visual Scripting, right? 😬

I'm very glad to hear that! If you like it, writing a review in the Unity Asset Store would really help me out a lot.

Sadly the lightship hub is not available anymore, however there are the lightship samples. I made a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/WAMl0lIz8MA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IscjJBm96yCN15hs

@@AliveStudios_ 😭

You can just test it in editor with the XR simulator :)

Sure :) So first of all are you using VPS or WPS (They sound similar but are very different) and did you follow some kind of tutorial or documentation? About the texture issue, is this something that happens only when using Location based AR or does this also happen in a normal ar scene?

Hi mate, you mean like a overlay e.g. over the body or hands?

@@AliveStudios_ yes something like that

@@danayitmulugeta5545 So the issue is that as far as I know only iOS / AR-Kit has full body tracking, while Lightship / AR Core do not support this feature. But it would be quite cool. On XR Glasses this is definitely a thing.

@@AliveStudios_ Actually what i was trying to do was, I followed your tutorial on the object detection and works wonderfully the issue is I want to spawn a 3d on the specific detected object for example if I detect a couch I want to replace that with 3d couch fully instead of spawning it on top or near but fully cover it with the new 3d object, is that possible ??
