Thanks for the tutorial Dilmer! I've been trying to animate a model in GeospatialCreator. I was hoping to just manipulate its position by doing something "regular" like position.x += 1f; in the Update() function but this does not seem to work. Do you know how to do it?

[@ssabadell5596]

Hi Dilmer, thank you for the great video, this isn't the first of yours that I have watched! They are very helpful. I am completing a course with XR Bootcamp and have started learning about the new Geospatial Creator tools. I am on a small team preparing a demo project to complete the course, and would like to focus on shade and shadow for a city. What we are finding so far is that Geospatial Tiles bring in 3D geometry, but the materials applied use an Unlit shader, so shadows cast on other buildings and the ground are not rendered by those materials. Do you have any suggestions for how we might support shade and shadow with the materials that are coming in with Geospatial Creator? Thanks!

Hey Dilmer, in your video does your model that you import into the world scene occlude with the reset of the world? My objects always appear and aren't occluding behind buildings/tress etc..

Hi I am having trouble that anchor are not correct, even I place the game object under the Anchor or create a Anchor script in the game object at the editor scene, but when I build,, the result is game object scale are become small and the transform are not the set into the correct spot.

[@ericgilligan602]

Hey Dilmer! Great tutorial as always :) Just a question ( I thought you were going to show us your salt lake city AR scene ) anyway.. I was testing this out over the last week and in my location I can get 3d tiles but the tiles are not full 3d buildings and only give an outline of the buildings when I open the app and tap on geometry. So not like the regular 3d buildings you can see on your projects.Basically its a 2d map that I can place things on but it makes it awkward to place things on ( accurately ) I dont know if you seen this or not as maybe the locations that you tried all have the proper 3d buildings. So my question is how can I place things accurately if the cesium only pulls a 2d map. I guess the only way is to place and go to the site? Any ideas ? Cheers :)

[@dilmerv]

Hey Eric 👋 thanks for your feedback and you are right I didn’t show the scene in much detail 😅 On your question regarding 2D vs 3D tiles, I believe it had to do with the tiles support Google provides in your country, I would recommend checking this website which shows 2D vs 3D Tiles by country developers.google.com/maps/coverage but if 2D is the only option then I would need to look into it as I am not very familiar with that implementation. Thanks for your feedback.

[@Pinkokinawa84]

Thank you so much for the tutorial :) As always great video!! Do you know how we can test if I put an anchor far away from home in Unity? For example, if I add an anchor to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, is there only way to test this is going to the actual location, or could we test it from home?

[@dilmerv]

To be honest when testing I ended up simply using my own home address to make sure anchors where localizing correctly, to test on the actual sites I believe you would need to be there, perhaps make it available through TestFlight and invite others to help testing, I know this is not the best solution but I will look more into it to see if there is a better way. Thanks for watching!

[@sharat.achary]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial.

[@dilmerv]

What Android device are you currently using? Also what’s the state of the geospatial information added to the UI? Thanks for your feedback !

[@sharat.achary]

@@dilmerv The device used for testing was Redmi Note 10 and it supports ARCore. The issue was caused because I overlooked following points: 1. Didn't enable the Development Build checkbox, as result the guard clause ( line 40 @ GeospatialManger ) used to return the control and nothing would execute. 2. Didn't enable a Master Toggle in the device settings which enabled Location Service for apps, even though the Location Service permission was enabled in respective app settings. Addressing these resolved and app is showcasing the gespatial experience. Currently fiddling with the Terrain and Manual parameters to get the Augmented Object floored, as of now its floating and sliding around the expected lat/long. Much thanks to you for such amazing content 🤝

[@user-qi2tz6pw9x]

question, for every new project your do, do you have to recompile the dependencies and switch on the api for unity and switch around your settings? or is there a certain way to go about doing this for a new and seprate geospatial project?

[@dilmerv]

Not sure I understand your question. But for every new app in Unity you have to set it up with ARCore unless you create a Unity template and keep it updated for future projects.

[@user-qi2tz6pw9x]

[@kryptoidkryptonic8696]

Does anyone know where the fill API documentation for unity is for geospatial? All I can find is the quick start stuff, and I need to actually see full documentation to understand how there anchors are working, not just how to place them. But i cant find it anywhere! Also, does anyone know how to make ARGeospatialCreatorAnchors not occlude themselves if your to far away? Another thing that would be great if I could find proper documentation and API references. Our usecase really needs things to not occlude / disapear when further away from the anchor.

Hey Dilmer, I have actually done all the steps needed to ensure everything is working properly. but once I build it and run on android phone with the APK .... I am not able to run it. all I see is just empty buildings without any designs . It's brown in colour. Do we need to go down to the physical location for the app to run smoothly ?

[@bestbannersever]

@@dilmerv I look forward to it! Thanks

[@AngryApple]

I found out that you can get to the free limit of the tiles api extremly fast so this is why I recommend turning the Geospatial Creator OFF when your geospatial anchor is set, dont let it run all the time because it loads new tiles when youre moving around the viewport. Also I couldnt find any info about the usage limit for the Streetscape Mesh.

[@dilmerv]

That’s a good point, at the beginning I wasn’t doing so but later on yes I did the same thing 🙏 disabled the Geospatial components while I was working on the characters. I also found out that I can create about 20+ projects in Google Cloud, I hit a limit on 1 and ended up creating 2 more, this way I can cycle through them as I work through development.

[@lukexie3449]

Hi, you mean turning the geospatial creator off is from the Unity? but when you turn it off the map is no longer rendering, then basically just for getting the anchor data right?

[@AngryApple]

@@lukexie3449 You only need the map for positioning the anchor, for nothing else

hello! Im just wondering.. If I would like to show some objects in different location for example: Park - show grass and stuff Parking - show cars if its good to choose this approach or try to create something else with another tool? I mean this tool is right now free but later it will cost a thing.. many thanks for the info! : )

[@dilmerv]

Yes having objects on different locations would work perfectly, you could test it out and learn a lot from it, I will be finding out what will be the cost very soon! Thanks for your feedback and time !

[@AngryApple]

something like Mapbox could be the better solution here, its relatively easy to filter out streets, parks, water and so on. You can do a similar Geospatial thingy actually, but Google's VPS is more precise than just GPS alone which what Mapbox would use. But I done it and it works. But the Geospatial Api ist just waaaaaaay easier and straightforward

[@logzero3735]

Ciao Dilmer Thanks for the overall amazing job you do with your channel. I'm fairly new to AR but your video is great., I followed along and reached the point where I deployed the apk and installed on my Samsung note 9. The app load is perfect and I've granted all the requested permission. Unfortunately, the Robot does not load or show up on the screen at the desired coordinates. Is there a possibility that I'm missing something? could it be a matter of a geolocalization permit or Google authorization?

[@dilmerv]

Hey thanks for your message and feedback, I recommend connecting your Samsung device to your computer via USB-C and pulling up the logcat viewer in Unity, you can download it through Unity’s package manager. More likely you are getting rejected or missing something small in the configuration.

[@drawforever486]

Great video, I have a small doubt , we are creating a geospatial creator orgin in the hierarchy then we are making the 3d model as its child, instead of this can we create a 3d object in the hierarachy and add geospatial creator orgin script to it and add the latitude and longitude ?? Would this be the same or cause variations

[@dilmerv]

Thank you, to clarify this: you are creating a “Geospatial Creator Origin” and that component has its set of tiles under it, for your content you can create a “Geospatial Creator Anchor” and add your 3D model under it as a child or just add your 3D model to the hierarchy and add a “Geospatial Creator Anchor” as a component.

Infact I’m not getting data on the ui text you created which I think is supposed to show tracking state and the other info like in yours. But that just says new text for, which means the geospatial manager script itself may not be working as intended ( no errors though I just copied that script from your repo) Also in that sample scene the AR session and session origin objects are disabled, I’m guessing they enable it at runtime.

Can I use Geospatial Creator for Mapbox or it is specifically for google map and its api?

Take a look at these steps: 1- ARCore Extensions: developers.google.com/ar/develop/unity-arf/getting-started-extensions 2- ARCore iOS SDK Linker Flags: github.com/google-ar/arcore-ios-sdk

[@dilmerv]

Let me know if that helps thanks.

I tried following Google's documentation, but the error occurred：Undefined symbols: Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) @@dilmerv

Hi after following your tutorial I get nothing showing on the build screen, it's just a blank unity scene in the void. It asks to access networks but not for map or camera permissions. How can I fix this?

[@dilmerv]

Follow the player settings steps on this link and I am sure that it will fix your problem: developers.google.com/ar/develop/unity-arf/getting-started-ar-foundation#install_ar_foundation

@@dilmerv Thankyou that was helpful

@@dilmerv I have another question for you: in unity geospace creator i placed an object in front of my house to test, however it appears through walls and other houses at a distance, instead of appearing behind walls and buildings. It's as though it's on the front layer and everything else is on a layer behind. How do you think this can be fixed

Where did you get the script folder you put in at 9:08? thanks

[@dilmerv]

You can download all the files from here github.com/dilmerv/GeospatialCreatorDemos and thanks for watching!

@@dilmerv I dragged the script folder from your project into my project and dragged the 'GeospatialManager' part into my GeospatialManager but it gives me the error: Can't add script component 'GeospatialManager' because the script class cannot be found. Make sure that there are no compile errors and that the file name and class name match.

Hey! Thank you in advance for the tutorial. Way better than the google one. However I keep getting the same error on both: I'm stuck on a black screen "earthstate not ready" do you know why?

[@dilmerv]

Hey thanks for your feedback, is this happening with iOS or Android? I believe I had this error when I was missing permissions, here is sample code github.com/dilmerv/GeospatialCreatorDemos/blob/ff20fa3275a59fc491ff6a212e81cae4522273d3/Assets/Scripts/GeospatialManager.cs#L104

@dilmerv@@marinhozzz I'm getting this same error. What permissions do you think I might be missing? Thank you!

[@marinhozzz]

@@andrewbritt9436 i answered in this video, you need the AR background render feature. They also updated the tutorial on the website you can find this error described there

[@andrewbritt9436]

Thank you@@marinhozzz! I added that feature as in the video but am still getting the error. Did the black screen stop for you once you added it? Can you provide the link to that site?

[@jmartin1223]

Maybe it is me, but I cannot get this to work. Every time I try to build this in Xcode, it fails every time. I do most of my dev on Android, but I can't seem to figure out how to get this working on my iPhone.

[@dilmerv]

Here are a few steps that could help: developers.google.com/ar/develop/ios/enable-arcore if you still get errors let me know what those are thanks

[@jmartin1223]

@@dilmerv thanks for getting back to me. I ended up figuring it out. I was opening up the wrong xcode project, when I should have opened the xcode workspace project instead. But I could not test it on my iphone as I don't pay to be an apple developer.

i cant enable tiles api ,it says add a debit card with USD as currency but i dont have one can anyone help wat can i do next plz??

[@dilmerv]

Hello and thanks for your message. In order to use Google’s services, you need a credit card on file, also not all countries are supported with the 3D tiles API. To find out if your country supports it check out this page: developers.google.com/maps/coverage

This is rad. Great video! Thanks for ruining us through this. My mind us swimming with ideas. Time to fire up Unity.

[@dilmerv]

Hehe I got the same feeling the first time I saw it, thanks for your feedback and time !

[@TerraQuaticaONG]

I´m sorry but at 8:37 I just can´t understand what you drag & drop. For me is not clear at all when you say "this" withput showing it. After that is quite difficult to followvyour tutorial. Could you or anybody else explain how and what is done? THX

[@saadafm]

Clone the repo onto your personal computer then you can directly copy/paste the Scripts folder. Note however I first copy/pasted the whole script (including several other files which at this point dont exist according to the video) and it threw error. The second time I copy pasted the scripts folder into assets, but only with Editor and GeospatialManager folder just like it is shown in the video at 8:37. Everything is going good so far at least.

Hello Dilmer, 🤩Great, absolutely exceptional tutorial! Followed it multiple times from A to Z. May I ask a stupid beginner's question: How do you take it from there to generate the AR code/link that will enable others to view the Augmented Reality, on their smartphones, when facing their phones to the triggering surroundings/buildings once they are on site? Thanks in advance for your answer and for being indulgent. I am an Aero user, up to now, for whom this just requires to push on the share button when the project is finalized. B.R. Alex

Hola Dilmer, me imagino que estas muy ocupado, pero si tienes un minuto para responder a mi pregunta me adjurarías muchísimo: How to generate the QR code/link that will enable others to view the Geospatial Augmented Reality, on their smartphones, when facing their phones to the triggering surroundings/buildings once they are on site?

Hey Dilmer Not sure if you can help with this but would really appreciate it Thread 2: "-[FBLPromise HTTPBody]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x2814dcb40" Thread 2: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x197c13c24) When I am trying to build to iOS I get this error and my app keeps crashing on iPhone Any chance you can help with this?

[@dilmerv]

Did you add the ARCore iOS package within Xcode? Also, don’t open the project generated by Unity, there should be an iOS pods project which has all the references. Let me know if that makes sense.

Did you set Bitcode to NO, also open the .xcworkspace and build that instead of the regular Xcode project file.

[@ret0x]

@@dilmerv Yes Bitcode set to NO, I hadn't tried using a .xcworkspace but have now. Same issues under UnityFramework.

Try Product - Clean build. That god rid of the AugmentedFaces error for me. Also go back to earlier Cesium version, i fund that 1.3.1 works for me.
