Sceneform SDK for Android

Sceneform is a 3D framework with a physically based renderer that's optimized for mobile devices and that makes it easy for you to build augmented reality apps without requiring OpenGL.

Choosing the right Sceneform SDK version for your project

As of ARCore release 1.16.0, Google open-sourced the implementation of Sceneform allowing you to extend Sceneform's features and capabilities. As part of the 1.16.0 release, support for SFA and SFB assets was removed in favor of adding glTF support

You can continue to use Sceneform 1.15.0 (or earlier). There is no requirement that you migrate to Sceneform 1.16.0.

Do not use Sceneform 1.17.0 as that release will not work correctly. (Sceneform 1.17.1 can be used, but is otherwise identical to Sceneform 1.15.0.)

Sceneform SDK	Description
Sceneform SDK versions 1.0.0 - 1.15.0	Closed source Included in your project as an external Gradle dependency `FBX` and `OBJ` files can be converted to Sceneform's `SFA` and `SFB` Sceneform formats
Sceneform SDK version 1.16.0	Open source Built alongside an application as a Gradle module Supports glTF instead of `SFA` and `SFB` Sceneform formats
Sceneform SDK version 1.17.0	Do not use
Sceneform SDK version 1.17.1	Identical to version 1.15.0

Getting started with Sceneform 1.16.0

Use the following steps to include and build the Sceneform 1.16.0 SDK with your app:

Download sceneform-android-sdk-1.16.0.zip from the Sceneform SDK releases page.
Extract the sceneformsrc and sceneformux directories into your project's top-level directory. The resulting directory structure should be similar to the following:

project
+-- app
|   +-- build.gradle
|   +-- ...
+-- sceneformsrc
+-- sceneformux
+-- build.gradle
+-- settings.gradle
+-- ...

Modify your project's settings.gradle to include the Sceneform projects:

include ':app'

// Add these lines:
include ':sceneform'
project(':sceneform').projectDir=new File('sceneformsrc/sceneform')

include ':sceneformux'
project(':sceneformux').projectDir=new File('sceneformux/ux')

Finally, add a reference to the Sceneform SDK to your app's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    api project(":sceneformux")
}
