Member ChiltonWebb Posted April 18, 2018 Member Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hi, I just added 3D Coat support to AR Portfolio. This is a new, pretty easy way to show off your 3D Coat work AR Portfolio and 3D Coat -Chilton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted April 19, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Interesting... Several months ago I taught myself how to produce a AR scene in Unity and download to my android phone... Mine was just the basic AR, no programming as yours is and of course yours is much better than mine. I found learning how to do it myself and seeing a model of mine in AR was a blast.

Member ChiltonWebb Posted April 19, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Absolutely! And to be clear, everything I'm doing in my kit is stuff you can technically do for free. I just make it easy, and set all the stuff up for you. For example, I thought it was weird that the Vuforia guys haven't published an official shadow system that works with their light detection. So mine does. And basic stuff like the UI that auto-senses your model and scales it appropriately, lets you spin it, etc., is all done by magic (or rather, well documented code that stays out of your way). The thing is, it's so easy to get people to 'wow' at a good piece of art in augmented reality. So I thought I'd make an artist-friendly kit where all the programming is done for you. If people want to learn how it works, well, all the code is there and it's really well documented, and I'm putting together some videos to explain how to end users how it all works. I also don't have any restrictions for use here, as long as people aren't reselling my code itself. If you go use this to make an IKEA competitor and laugh all the way to the bank, I only ask that you let me live in your servants' quarters. -Chilton Edited April 19, 2018 by ChiltonWebb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ChiltonWebb Posted April 19, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I just need to up my art game. I've been using 3D Coat for years and I still feel like I'm assembling legos in the dark -Chilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ChiltonWebb Posted April 30, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi guys, AR Portfolio 1.5 is nearly ready, and its new features make it serious competition for all of the major AR kits out there. As a result, the price will be going up quite a bit. What was initially a hobby augmented reality system is now a full fledged commercial kit. Stuff like the GPS based location system make it possible for you to build apps for major attractions with a minimal amount of effort. GPS Based Augmented Reality I just wanted to let everyone know before the new version drops, and the price goes up. If you want in at $50, this is your last call. It's going up by a few hundred bucks, and even then I'm at 1/10th the price of some of my competitors.
