Thanks!! Great material.

[@marqusee]

Glad you liked it!!!!

Hi! Daniel! Great tutorial and sharing, really helpful, a little question, how to fix the tiny little gap between circle gate and skybox? any hint for deeper solution? thanks in advance

[@marqusee]

I would redo the sphere and add more polys. That way you can have a clean cut.

[@mancerrss]

If that's how easy the preparation of the portal cube/sphere is on Blender (except that complicated interface on Blender) why not just prepare the Object inside Bezel as well? Isn't that possible yet? Did you do it on Blender because there are some limitations for now on how Bezel handles normals?

[@marqusee]

I made another video about making it in bezel. However the geometry in bezel is far less capable to do interesting stuff.

[@mancerrss]

Can we do this AR preview with just our iPhone 14's LiDAR camera? Does Bezel support that kind of ARKit preview over Safari yet?

[@marqusee]

WebKit by apple is shit. They purposely block AR content, but you can use another browser that works.

[@roshni6767]

Have you been playing with any AI tools? How can we integrate and use AI to help create things for AR?

[@Genki-XR]

Would also love to know about ways to integrate AI and XR design 😍 Kickbutt tutorial as always, Daniel! 💯🙌🏽

[@marqusee]

At the moment I use AI to generate materials and skyboxes. While AI is cool I often take a holistic approach to using new technologies. Meaning I search out for tools to solve a general problem, instead of making the problem the new technology. Hope that makes sense.

Ugh. Freaking discord. Its fixed now, thanks for letting me know!
