How to make an AR App: Plane Detection & Add Character (Unity + Lightship ARDK 3 tutorial)

Thanks for watching my journey. I want to build the most exciting AR Experiences including Games, Movies and useful Apps. My background is mainly in 2D / 3D Animation using Blender and After Effects, but I always loved the idea of Augmented Reality. Furthermore, I liked to code. So in late 2022 I decided to learn Unity and get deeper into AR Software Development. Let's see how far we can come :)

If you have a Gradle error, download Gradle 6.7.1 from this website and link to it in the Unity settings:

Awesome. Thank you so much. You are a lifesaver. I just started working on lightship and unity. This tutorial has helped me a lot from understanding the code and fixing my build errors. Looking forward for more tutorials with lightship and Unity. Thanks again...

@@Demisemæn Hi mate, I'm not 100% sure where the errors appear, can you give me a quick rundown on when those messages come up and what you try to achieve?

Hi, I would like to raise a question in here. I just have all the simulation environemnts installed and displayed in XR environment, but the prob is that when i hit the play button and the game plays out, with the camera being unable to render eveything but a completely black screnn. Can anyone fix this issue ?

[@AliveStudios_]
