I want to display a huge image in RealityView in 3d space on Vision Pro. of course instead of one giant file I'm using a lot of big images. to achieve this, I'm generating multiple planes exactly beside each others and put each image on them. although the planes are exactly beside each others but there is still a white gap between them.(image below) **Does anybody know how to fix this issue? **

Anyone could share ideas or nodes setup to implement a gaussian blur on shader graph material, with a blur size parameter? Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to place an object in front of AVPlayer that is docked in VideoDockingRegion, but when launched in immersive space, the video passes through the objects placed in front of. How do I make sure these objects are visible? image for reference

Wondering if this is even possible without using CVImageBuffer and passing each frame as an image which I imagine will be very expensive. Have a PoC of a shader graph that applies a radial zoom effect to an image. In RealityKit I'm passing the image as a resource: if let textureResource = try? await TextureResource(named: "fuji") { let value = MaterialParameters.Value.textureResource(textureResource) try? material.setParameter(name: "MyImage", value: value) model.model?.materials = [material] } Thanks in advance

Hi, I am trying to create a simple effect to create feather edges on the image using Reality Composer Pro. Something like this: As you can see it has softer edges on all sides that dissolves into transparency with the background. this is what I have been able to achieve on my own. I want to use the "feather" input node value (float) from 0.0 to 1.0 to increase or decrease the strength of the feather edges.

is it possible to dynamically update ModelPositionOffset of GeometryModifier with a depth map image? in my code I set up the parameter for "DepthMapTexture" universal input node and tried setting the depth map for depthTextureResource. I have 2 DrawableQueues. One for setting InputTexture, and one for setting DepthMapTexture. This only shows the part that concerns setting DepthMapTexture this is where I define the plane entity. and this is the shader graph what I noticed with GeometryModifier is that, the depthMap image has to be same as input image's dimensions. and when I applied this material to usdz file, with pre-assigned image and depth map from RCP, and loaded that Entity from code, depth map was applied correctly. what I am unsure is that if it is impossible to define a model entity from code, apply ShaderGraphMaterial from RCP, and dynamically update the image used in GeometryModifier. Maybe I'm missing something when defining Entity, something that allows geometric modifications?

Hi, I'm trying to achieve 3D photo effects using a photo and a depth map, using GeomertyModifier. The offset is getting applied correctly in Reality Composer Pro, and in Xcode, but when I launch the app, the model offset is not getting applied. here are the screenshots of shader graphs and how it looks in the app

Hi, I downloaded a few files from apple developers website, and they are in .reality file format. I wanted to see how they are constructed, but there is no way to open them and look at the content inside (3d model, shader, animation, etc). Is there a way to look at the content of .reality file?

How do you call the effect where the edges around the central image gradually become transparent? This effect is also seen when viewing immersive mode of spatial photos in Vision Pro. How can I achieve this effect using SwiftUI or ShaderGraph? I want to use this effect when displaying images in my app.

I'm trying to build a Shader in "Reality Composer Pro" that updates from a start time. Initially I tried the following: The idea was that when the startTime was 0, the output would be 0, but then I would set startTime from within code and this would be compared with the current GPU time, and difference used to drive another part of the shader graph: if let testEntity = root.findEntity(named: "Test"), var shaderGraphMaterial = testEntity.components[ModelComponent.self]?.materials.first as? ShaderGraphMaterial { let time = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() try! shaderGraphMaterial.setParameter(name: "StartTime", value: .float(Float(time))) testEntity.components[ModelComponent.self]?.materials[0] = shaderGraphMaterial } However, I haven't found a reference to the time the shader would be using. So now I am trying to write an EntityAction to achieve the same effect. Instead of comparing a start time to the GPU's time I'm trying to animate one of the shader's uniform input. However, I'm not sure how to specify the bind target. Here's my attempt so far: import RealityKit struct ShaderAction: EntityAction { let startValue: Float let targetValue: Float var animatedValueType: (any AnimatableData.Type)? { Float.self } static func registerEntityAction() { ShaderAction.subscribe(to: .updated) { event in guard let animationState = event.animationState else { return } let value = simd_mix(event.action.startValue, event.action.targetValue, Float(animationState.normalizedTime)) animationState.storeAnimatedValue(value) } } } extension Entity { func updateShader(from startValue: Float, to targetValue: Float, duration: Double) { let fadeAction = ShaderAction(startValue: startValue, targetValue: targetValue) if let shaderAnimation = try? AnimationResource.makeActionAnimation(for: fadeAction, duration: duration, bindTarget: .material(0).customValue) { playAnimation(shaderAnimation) } } } ''' Currently when I run this I get an assertion failure: 'Index out of range (operator[]:line 797) index = 260, max = 8' Furthermore, even if it didn't crash I don't understand how to pass a binding to the custom shader value "startValue". Any clues of how to achieve this effect - even if it's a completely different way.

Description: I'm developing an AR effect using SceneKit and applying a transparent material to a face mesh. However, I'm facing an issue where the front faces of the mesh overlap each other, causing incorrect rendering. Problem: The front faces of the mesh overlap with each other when transparency is applied. This causes areas like the cheeks to be visible through the nose, even though they should be occluded. Expected Behavior: The material should behave as if it were opaque to itself—that is, overlapping front faces should be occluded properly, while still allowing transparency for background elements. Actual Behavior: The mesh renders its own front faces incorrectly, making parts of the face visible through others when they should be blocked. What I Have Tried: testMaterial.writesToDepthBuffer = true testMaterial.readsFromDepthBuffer = true Question: 👉 How can I prevent SceneKit's transparent material from rendering overlapping front faces? 👉 Is there a way to force SceneKit to treat its own mesh as opaque for itself while still being transparent to the background? 👉 Does SceneKit support a proper depth pre-pass or an equivalent to Unity’s ZWrite shaders to solve this issue? Attached screenshots demonstrate the problem visually. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🚀

I implemented a ShaderGraphMaterial and tried to load it from my usda scene by ShaderGraphMaterial.init(name: in: bundle). I want to dynamically set TextureResource on that material, so I wanted to expose texture as Uniform Input of a ShaderGraphMaterial. But obviously RCP's Shader Graph doesn't support Texture input as parameter as the image shows: And from the code level, ShaderGraphMaterial also didn't expose a way to set TexturesResources neither. Its parameterNames shows an empty array if I didn't set any custom input params. The texture I get is from my backend so it really cannot be saved into a file and load it again (that would be too weird). Is there something I am missing?

Hi I try to make a 360 stereo viewer, and I have made a ShaderGraphMaterial on Reality Composer Pro. Im trying to use that material on a inverted sphere whitch is generated in Swift. When I try to attach the material I get this error "Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation" Here is the code (sorry im noob =) ): import SwiftUI import RealityKit import RealityKitContent import PhotosUI struct ImmersiveView: View { @Environment(AppModel.self) var appModel var body: some View { RealityView { content in // Add the initial RealityKit content guard let skyBoxEntity = await createSkybox() else { return } content.add(skyBoxEntity) } } } private func createSkybox () async -> Entity? { var matX = try? await ShaderGraphMaterial(named: "/Root/Mat_Stereo360", from: "360Stereo.usda", in: realityKitContentBundle) let sphere = await MeshResource.generateSphere(radius:1000) let entity = await Entity() entity.components.set(ModelComponent(mesh: sphere, materials: [matX])). //ERROR HERE: Type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation //entity.scale *= .init(x:-1, y:1, z:1) return entity } I hope someone can help me =) Best regards, Kim

sample repo: https://github.com/ckse93/VideoDiffusionIssueSHowcase Repo has detailed step by step workflow. as well as screenshot, python script compute result, and parameters after running computeDiffuseReflectionUVs.py and mapping textures and reflection diffuse to objects, I noticed that reflection diffuse does not produce any color. expected result is shown below, diffused light has color

In the particle effect of RealityKit, there is a Type: ParticleEmitterComponent.Presets He can invoke certain particle effects in certain systems, but I am interested in learning how to modify these particle entities (such as adjusting the color, the number of particles, the generation range…)?

Hey, I am having issues getting my Material X shaders to work properly in Reality Composer Pro that I've authored in Houdini. The shader is very simple. It starts with a tiled image node that is written to the diffuse color of the preview surface node. This node is called mtxltileimage2. When I create a tiled image node in RCP and configure it to have the same parameter values I get the texture to show up correctly. This node is called TiledImage. One difference I can identify is that the second node has a grey icon whereas the first node has a blue icon. Could this be related to this issue? Here is the USD viewer output for the two variants of the tiled image node. Any pointers, misconceptions and help would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to be able and author these shaders in Houdini and import them into RCP. Trying to figure out the right pipeline for this workflow.

I'm developing an app in which I need to render pictures and contain some models in a RealityView. I want to set up a camera, intercept virtual content through the camera, and save it as an image.

Hi! I wanna ask that if it's possible to make mirror material with Shader Graph in Reality Composer Pro. The mirror should reflect entities in Reality Composer Pro scene. I found that it works with SceneKit, but I'm using RealityKitContent in my project. Are there ways to solve this?

I am new here, my name is Axel - Hi! 👋 I am both a visionOS beginner and an expert in things 3D, now figuring my way into Reality Composer Pro. Most things are intuitive and easy to understand, yet there is one thing I cannot seem to figure out, and I feel really stupid because it must be there, and that's Keyframing: I would simply make a new Timeline and animate published parameters in a Shader Graph over time. I know how to do this via Xcode and Custom Components, but that can't be it because that will break even on simple to medium animation in terms of previewing and fine-tuning, complete overkill for a simple value animation. Since key framing is the most basic functionality of 3D apps next to move, I am sure it is in RCP somewhere. Anyone got a pointer for me?
