Sceneform SDK for Android v1.3.0

New samples

• Added Augmented Image sample to demonstrate using Augmented Images with Sceneform.

Breaking changes

• Rebuilding old glTF Sceneform models may result in different scales and translations, and your glTF may need to be modified.

New APIs and capabilities

• Binary format conversion supports the glTF/2.0 extension "KHR_materials_unlit".
• TransformableNode will now work with vertical planes.
• SceneView can now be used instead of ArSceneView to render a scene when not using ARCore.
  • The camera can be moved and rotated via SceneView.getScene().getCamera().
    • The initial camera transform is currently not defined and likely to change in future releases. Make sure the camera position and orientation is set when the view is created.
  • SceneView.setBackgroundColor() or the android:background property can be used to control the background color of the scene.

Deprecations

None.

Behavioral changes

• TranslationController will start translation when dragging a child of the TransformableNode, not just the TransformableNode itself.
• Transparent Renderable will cast a shadow (if it is a shadow caster).

Other changes

• Private construtor added to DemoUtils class, since it only has static methods.
• If a sample is run on a device that can't support AR a popup will appear and the activity will finish.

Bug fixes

• Binary format conversion will pre-transform model vertices in order to support glTF models with node transform hierarchies.
• Fixed support for smoothing_angle property in glTF/OBJ files.
• Fixed support for flip_texture_coordinates property in FBX files.
• BaseArFragment will no longer request permissions it already has.
• ArFragment can now be loaded dynamically and added to an existing container.
• Fixed logging on ARCore initialization errors.
• Fixed bug in BaseTransformationController, setEnabled() was ignored if called before setParent().
• Fixed a bug that caused the plane visualization to not display on HORIZONTAL_DOWNARD_FACING planes.
• Renderable.setMaterial() was always throwing an exception. Now it only throws on error.
• ViewRenderable colors reflect the View more accurately now. Previously, they were slightly washed out.
• Fixed a bug where the index offsets were wrong when building a Renderable with a RenderableDefinition with multiple submeshes.
• Fixed bug that caused the camera feed to render incorrectly on Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ devices with a Qualcomm processor.

Known issues

Runtime

• The initial camera transform of the non-AR camera (SceneView.getScene().getCamera()) is currently not defined and likely to change in future releases. Make sure the camera position and orientation is set when the view is created.
