That title would have made a great WWDC Sessions. Unfortunately, it seems like nothing is new in Reality Composer Pro this year. I've noticed at all versions of the Xcode Beta this summer have shipped with Reality Composer Pro version 2.0. There have been slight bumps in the build number. I haven't found any new features or seen any documentation to indicate that anything has changed. So the question is, what is the state of Reality Composer Pro? Should we continue to use this tool or start doing everything in code? A huge number of Sample Projects use Reality Composer Pro, so it seems like Apple is still using it even if they didn't update it this year.

I developed an app on VisionPro and created a button that allows users to exit the app instead of being forced to exit. I use the ”exit (0)“ scheme to exit the application, but when I re-enter, the loaded window is not the initial window, so is there any relevant code that can be used? Thank you

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？

After writing the code, when debugging on VisionPro, the program will encounter a blocking situation when running from Xcode to VisionPro. It will take a long time for the execution information to appear on the Xcode console

I have a question about Apple’s preinstalled visionOS app “Encounter Dinosaurs.” In this app, the dinosaurs are displayed over the real-world background, but the PhysicallyBasedMaterial (PBM) in RealityKit doesn’t appear to respond to the actual brightness of the environment. Even when I change the lighting in the room, the dinosaurs’ brightness and shading remain almost the same. If this behavior is intentional — for example, if the app disables real-world lighting influence or uses a fixed lighting setup — could someone explain how and why it’s implemented that way?

I’m currently developing a visionOS app that includes an RCP scene with a large USDZ file (around 2GB). Each time I make adjustments to the CG model in Blender, I export it as USDZ again, place it in the RCP scene, and then build the app using Xcode. However, because the USDZ file is quite large, the build process takes a long time, significantly slowing down my development speed. For example, I’d like to know if there are any effective ways to: Improve overall build performance Reduce the time between updating the USDZ file and completing the build Any advice or best practices for optimizing this workflow would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Sadao

Hello! Back from last week's amazing visit to Cupertino for the Game Dev session and diving back into Vision Pro experimentation. I've exported a simple geometry nodes with animation test from Blender for use in RCP, with intended output to Vision Pro. I've attached a few screenshots showing the node setup and how it animates over time. I select the Cube mesh and export as .usdc with animation. In the finder via quick look, I can actually see it working! If I try exporting as .usdz, however, i'm not seeing any animation in the finder preview. Next, I import the .usdc file to RCP and add an Animation Library component to the cube mesh, but am not seeing any animation selectable, even though I see animation playing back in preview. Next, I import the .usdc into Maya (via proper USD Stage pipeline - i'm learning to be USD compliant for authoring!) to verify if the animation is working, and it does. What step(s) am I missing to get this working in Reality Composer Pro? My goal is to experiment with animating these geometry node instances - along with color animation if possible - over to Vision Pro for full scale, immersive presentation. Of particular note, I am not a programmer, so I am trying my best to brute force this the only way I currently know possible, by keyframe animation and importing through Reality Composer Pro. I realize that, ideally, I should be learning how to leverage the code portion so I can start programatically controlling my 3d entities (with animation), but need more hand holding and real-world examples to help me get there. Thx!

I need help to wrap my head around this... If I import the Reality Composer Pro package and load it into an ARView, I will see 1.3gb of memory usage and about 180-220% cpu usage. The frames will start at around 60fps, and then eventually drop to around 30fps. If I export the usdz from Reality Composer Pro and load that into the same ARView, I will see about 1gb of memory usage and around 150% cpu usage; fps holds longer at 60 but eventually drops. If I load that same usdz into a QuickLook view, I will see about 55mb of memory usage, 9-11% cpu, and the frames stay locked at 116fps. The only thing I notice is the button I have is slightly less responsive, but it all still works fine. I don't understand. How can I make the ARView work as efficiently as QuickLook?

I want to select a sub model under a large model in a mixed space, and when I select this sub model, I will add a stroke to it, similar to the effect of selecting a model in Reality Composer Pro ，How to create entity strokes similar to this effect

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'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

具体表现为：在Unity编辑器中材质显示正常，但部署到Vision Pro真机后部分材质丢失或Shader效果异常（如透明通道失效、光照计算错误等）。此问题影响了开发进度，希望得到技术支持的帮助 Specific results: The materials are displayed normally in the Unity editor, but after being deployed to the Vision Pro real machine, some materials are lost or the Shader effect is abnormal (such as transparent channel failure, antenna calculation error, etc.). This problem has affected the development progress, and I hope to get help from technical support

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.

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!
