Common questions about KudanAR’s custom rendering engine<\/p>\n
No. With KudanCV, you can interface our computer vision with any 3rd party rendering engine, including any custom engines you’ve made yourself. The AR SDKs, however, do come with their own rendering capabilities that cannot be decoupled.<\/p>\n
The renderer requires a custom lightweight format, known as\u00a0 The renderer supports:<\/p>\n For more information, see our\u00a03D Models<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n Node transformations, blend shape influences and node visibility are all keyable.<\/p>\n Currently, the renderer will morph between two different shapes, whether they are from separate channels or not. In-between shapes on a blend shape deformer are fine since only two contribute at once.<\/p>\n We do not place a hard limit on the number of polygons a model can have. Our renderer is capable of rendering models with over 1 Million Triangles without much performance impact. Having said that, it is always better to have as few polygons on a model as possible when working with mobile applications.<\/p>\n Per-pixel lighting with fresnel reflections, occlusion and normal maps. We also provide custom AR-specific materials for use with object occlusion or for working with the camera texture.<\/p>\n We are looking at adding programmable shader support for a future release.<\/p>\n Yes, the camera texture extractor will work no matter what is controlling the position, so it also works in ArbiTrack. Just position the target node as usual.<\/p>\n All content loaders such as the model importer, texture and video loaders can load from a full path name. Your downloader should download content to the app’s cache directory and pass the full path as appropriate.<\/p>\n You would need to write your own importer for a format such as JSON\/XML that describes the scene and use the appropriate node creation API accordingly, but yes, this is possible.<\/p>\n Yes, 2D animations are also supported by the renderer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Common questions about KudanAR’s custom rendering engine Do I need to use Kudan’s rendering engine?
