Reality Composer Pro
Viewport is deep (modes, debug views, presets/history). We are going to implement just a working viewer + camera for this pass; chasing full parity will balloon scope. The main viewport is built with RealityKit, and we'll add a layer for gestures, a grid, and a simple Arcball implementation
Reality Composer Pro
An exploration of the .realitycomposerpro document type. This post breaks down its structure as an SPM-backed package, the nested bundle system for assets, and how this layout could enable Xcode and `realitytool` processing.
Reality Composer Pro
Reality Composer Pro prioritizes the transition of elements over direct emphasis on creation and debugging tasks. It's a portal where you transport raw, wild formats to more manageable, controlled, static-defined files that can be represented on RealityKit.
RealityKit
Xcode runs a verified two-pass process to compile .reality files: first generating USD schemas from your Swift components, then compiling them into optimized bundles.
WWDC
TL;DR * Spatial computing is in a transitional phase: the technology is robust, but the market and use cases are still catching up. * Apple’s approach is methodical, not flashy: rather than chasing hype, Apple is building the infrastructure—standards, APIs, specifications, developer tools—that will power the next wave
ARKit
TL;DR, If you want virtual environment light gradually replacing your real-world shaded objects, use Virtual Environment Probe. Achieving visual realism for virtual elements involves many parts, but lighting stands out as particularly challenging, especially in real-time rendering for platforms like visionOS and RealityKit. Material surface behavior in response to
TabletopKit
TL;DR, If you are interested in building a spatial game (or just about any immersive experience), you'll probably want to implement an architecture like TabletopKit. Create multiplayer spatial games on a virtual table surface and use FaceTime to invite players. TabletopKit first impressions We are creating a
RealityKit
TL;DR: SubD can currently only be activated on Reality Composer Pro and for geometry using physically based (not custom) materials. While working with 3D, especially for real-time rendering engines like RealityKit (the current engine powering visionOS), balancing geometry, material types, sizes, and render passes is critical for creating an
RCP
Reality Composer from macOS (not Pro) was quietly sunset not too long ago. Aside from being a graphical editor that allowed for basic scene setup, it also had other great utilities, such as cross-platform preview and some popular features that allowed for creating interaction with triggers and events.
