Planes
In Spark AR Studio, a plane is a flat 3D object that can be positioned at any depth within the scene.
Because the plane is a 3D object, you can use the manipulators to change its position, scale and rotation.
You could use a plane to place a 2D image or texture into 3D space.
Adding a plane
To add a plane:
- Click Add Object.
- Select Plane.
You'll see a square shape in the center of the Viewport:
Properties
When you select a plane in the Scene panel, you'll be able to see and make changes to its properties in the Inspector.
Layer
Click the dropdown next to Layer to adjust which layer the plane is assigned to.
Visible
Clear this box to stop the plane and any children from being rendered in the scene.
Transformations
Edit the position, scale and rotation of the plane.
Material
Create or apply a material to the plane.
Interactions
Insert simple combinations of patches involving the plane into the Patch Editor, like touch gestures.
Enable For
Choose the camera or cameras on a mobile device in which you want to render the plane.
Creating a patch
Either:
- Drag the plane from the Scene panel, into the Patch Editor - this will create a patch to represent the plane.
- Click Create under Interactions in the Inspector. Select Producer Patch to create a producer patch representing the plane, or Object Tap to create a patch that will detect when the plane in the scene is tapped by the user.
