@HEMAL-VES - What is the error message you are getting when you try to launch on Windows? Is it the same one as reported above in this issue?

I am not getting any error message. It just shows that android studio stops working with close program option. And not be able to open android studio.

Yesterday I have just updated Android Studio to the latest version and install Google SceneForm Tool plugin version 1.4.0 which works fines but when I am updating it to the latest version (1.5.0) Android Studio stops working.

i had the same problem and solved it by resting android studio like follow -
bug cause-> Sceneform plugin
bug fix->
delete android studio 3.x file in C:\Users"username" and lunch android as normal
and disable Sceneform plugin

I have also tried this way but It does not work. So, I just update Android Studio to 3.2.1 version and added Sceneform plugin with a version of 1.4.0 which works fine.

There is one more issue with Scene from a plugin. As Sceneform plugin shows the preview of the 3D object in the viewer. I am not able to show preview file for any 3D object. This issue occurs on any version of the android studio after 3.1.0 and any version of scene from plugin

I have faced the same issue every time in the android studio.
Android studio canary version: 3.4 canary 4
Sceneform plugin version: 1.5

I'm having the same issue as mistrydarshan99, with the beta and 1.4 versions of Sceneform. Running on Debian 9 with a new install of everything.

Was anyone able to resolve it??

I am also facing similar issue on my Mac machine.
I have Android studio 3.3 and Sceneform plugin version 1.6.

Android Studio crashes multiple times with same exception.
And whenever it runs, I can not see any preview for my 3D assets.
Whenever I try to open model, Android Studio says there is fatal error and following exceptions can be seen:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Couldn't create Engine at com.google.android.filament.Engine.create(Engine.java:37) at com.google.ar.sceneform.filament.wrapper.Engine.create(Engine.java:18) at com.google.ar.sceneform.plugin.viewer.Filamentor$3.run(Filamentor.java:191)

Then it will ask to disable Sceneform plugin.

Hello @babasuresh ,

The solution is that you have to downgrade Sceneform plugin with version 1.4.0 in which Android Studio will not crash. The version after 1.4.0 version can not be used as Android Studio will crash.

For resolving your crash issue and downgrade Sceneform plugin folllow instruction which I mention on another issue #409

For Ubuntu users, Go to Home Directory, Search for .androidstudio 3.5 or related versions. Goto Plugins and search for sceneform plugin. Remove that folder and restart IDE. And Thank me to save your precious time!
