[Feature request] Add new shape 'ARCorePlane'? Add (png) image as material for ARCorePlane to display an image

[BrutalCoding]

Hi,

Could anyone (or @giandifra himself) see if they can expand the current shapes (cube, cylinder, sphere) with a 'plane'? I would like to display an 2D image. Right now I'm showing a flat cube with the image as its texture, but it has a white reflectance that I can't get rid of.

When using a (flat) cube with certain png's as its texture, I'm getting "Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(error, Invalid Bitmap: Bitmap's configuration must be ARGB_8888, but it was RGBA_F16, null)" when trying to display certain png's. These png's work fine with ARKit's Flutter plugin (https://pub.dev/packages/arkit_plugin).

ARKit code example:

   final material = ARKitMaterial(
      lightingModelName: ARKitLightingModel.lambert,
      diffuse: ARKitMaterialProperty(image: imageUrl),
    );

    final geometry = ARKitPlane(
      materials: [material],
      width: 0.4,
      height: 0.4,
    );
    final node = ARKitNode(geometry: geometry, position: vector.Vector3(0, 0, -.8), name: 'some_name');
    _arkitController.add(node); 

I tried to add this feature myself but it seemed more involved than I hoped. If I got it working myself I'll close this issue, but I'm not that familiar with Kotlin and Android in general.

Hi, I'll try to implement this feature in this week!

Thank you

Looking forward to it!

I'm releasing new version...

You can add image now:

 Future _addImage(ArCoreHitTestResult hit) async {
    final bytes =
        (await rootBundle.load('assets/earth.jpg')).buffer.asUint8List();

    final earth = ArCoreNode(
      image: ArCoreImage(bytes: bytes, width: 500, height: 500),
      position: hit.pose.translation + vector.Vector3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
      rotation: hit.pose.rotation + vector.Vector4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
    );

    arCoreController.addArCoreNodeWithAnchor(earth);
  }

Tested it and can confirm it works flawlessly! Closing this issue now. I'll sponsor you today 👍

Instead of the image could you display a video on it and play it on a loop ?

me too, i create a ARCoreMaterial instance, try to give video byte to textureByte

show imagedecode error..
