3D configurator model to AR

AR development for iOS using Verge3D involves a lot of sacrifice. Not because of V3D but because of what Apple will support and not support in Safari/WebKit.

The example AR demo uses Apple’s native iOS quickview to load a USDZ.
Quickview has limitations as to what can be animated, textures, model complexity,etc. from my testing complex scenes do not translate by simply exporting as USDZ. The good news is Quickview uses actual room lighting to light your objects. V3D you have to setup your own lighting as it does not use the cameras lighting.

There is an option for using the mozillaXR app on iOS and running the V3D app natively. For commercial use this has always been an installation barrier.

I would suggest to test and try it but don’t rely on just exporting to work. Plan on learning how to use the apple ar dev tools at a minimum and expect if you have lots of interactivity plan on building a native app unless mozillaxr is an option.

So you just want to be able to send the fully configured model into AR so they can view it, is what you’re asking right? If so this is definitely possible.

Yup. When you use the export to USDZ puzzle you can export individual models, groups of models, or even the entire scene into the one USDZ file. There’s a ton of flexibility.

Yes, you can definitely do that. The main thing you need to do is make sure you export to USDZ after the configuration is done instead of when your app first launches of course.

Is there a possibility to export the scene but only visible objects? The GTLF-Export puzzle has a checkbox for only visible, for the USDZ I can’t find it. Any workaround?

The ‘export to USDZ’ puzzle will automatically export only the visible objects in your scene. :)
So for example if you pick ‘Scene’ to export, it will export all of the visible objects only. @fred7
