Image View is not visible on SceneKit View - xcode

My image is not visible in Scenekit, I also tested while button is visible, image button or button with image background becomes invisible. Any idea?

I have finally showed an image over Scenekit View, but not using image view. I have checked out Fox2SceneKitWWDC2017 sample project and I see they used SpriteKit overlay. I used Fox2 sample codes to do so, as below. In case some body needs...
//
// Overlay.swift
// Remote
//
// Created by Mustafa Akkuzu on 14.12.2021.
//
import Foundation
import SceneKit
import SpriteKit
class Overlay: SKScene {
private var overlayNode: SKNode
// MARK: - Initialization
init(size: CGSize, controller: ViewController) {
overlayNode = SKNode()
super.init(size: size)
scaleMode = .resizeFill
addChild(overlayNode)
// Assign the SpriteKit overlay to the SceneKit view.
isUserInteractionEnabled = false
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
func showImage() {
// Congratulation title
let congratulationsNode = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "circle.png")
overlayNode.addChild(congratulationsNode)
let w: CGFloat = size.width
let h: CGFloat = size.height
overlayNode.position = CGPoint(x: w/2, y: h/2)
// Animate
congratulationsNode.alpha = 0.0
congratulationsNode.xScale = 0
congratulationsNode.yScale = 0
congratulationsNode.run( SKAction.group([SKAction.fadeIn(withDuration: 0.25),
SKAction.sequence([SKAction.scale(to: 1.22, duration: 0.25),
SKAction.scale(to: 1.0, duration: 0.1)])]))
}
}
Usage:
let overlay = Overlay(size: sceneView.bounds.size, controller: self)
sceneView.overlaySKScene = overlay
overlay.showImage()

SceneKIt - how to assign ARSCNView video feed as a texture to a SCNGeometry

Goal: get the video feed from ARSCNView. and assign as a video material to a SceneKIt SCNGeometry.
What I did:
// retrieve the ship node
let ship = scene.rootNode.childNode(withName: "shipMesh", recursively: true)!
// apply AR feed to the ship node material
let material = ship.geometry?.firstMaterial
material!.diffuse.contents = arView.scene.background.contents
Problem: the ship is white, without AR video feed
Full code bellow:
import UIKit
import QuartzCore
import SceneKit
import ARKit
class GameViewController: UIViewController, ARSCNViewDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let arView = ARSCNView()
// create a new scene
let scene = SCNScene(named: "art.scnassets/ship.scn")!
// create and add a camera to the scene
let cameraNode = SCNNode()
cameraNode.camera = SCNCamera()
scene.rootNode.addChildNode(cameraNode)
// place the camera
cameraNode.position = SCNVector3(x: 0, y: 0, z: 15)
// create and add a light to the scene
let lightNode = SCNNode()
lightNode.light = SCNLight()
lightNode.light!.type = .omni
lightNode.position = SCNVector3(x: 0, y: 10, z: 10)
scene.rootNode.addChildNode(lightNode)
// create and add an ambient light to the scene
let ambientLightNode = SCNNode()
ambientLightNode.light = SCNLight()
ambientLightNode.light!.type = .ambient
ambientLightNode.light!.color = UIColor.darkGray
scene.rootNode.addChildNode(ambientLightNode)
// retrieve the ship node
let ship = scene.rootNode.childNode(withName: "shipMesh", recursively: true)!
let material = ship.geometry?.firstMaterial
material!.diffuse.contents = arView.scene.background.contents
material!.lightingModel = .constant
// animate the 3d object
//ship.runAction(SCNAction.repeatForever(SCNAction.rotateBy(x: 0, y: 2, z: 0, duration: 1)))
// retrieve the SCNView
let scnView = self.view as! SCNView
// set the scene to the view
scnView.scene = scene
// allows the user to manipulate the camera
scnView.allowsCameraControl = true
// show statistics such as fps and timing information
scnView.showsStatistics = true
// configure the view
scnView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
// add a tap gesture recognizer
let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleTap(_:)))
scnView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)
}
#objc
func handleTap(_ gestureRecognize: UIGestureRecognizer) {
// retrieve the SCNView
let scnView = self.view as! SCNView
// check what nodes are tapped
let p = gestureRecognize.location(in: scnView)
let hitResults = scnView.hitTest(p, options: [:])
// check that we clicked on at least one object
if hitResults.count > 0 {
// retrieved the first clicked object
let result = hitResults[0]
// get its material
let material = result.node.geometry!.firstMaterial!
// highlight it
SCNTransaction.begin()
SCNTransaction.animationDuration = 0.5
// on completion - unhighlight
SCNTransaction.completionBlock = {
SCNTransaction.begin()
SCNTransaction.animationDuration = 0.5
material.emission.contents = UIColor.black
SCNTransaction.commit()
}
material.emission.contents = UIColor.red
SCNTransaction.commit()
}
}
override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
return true
}
override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
return true
}
override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone {
return .allButUpsideDown
} else {
return .all
}
}
}
Create a fresh (out of the box) ARKit SceneKit based App
(the one with the SpaceShip)
Then you modify your viewWillAppear section like this:
Add the DispatchQueue stuff below.
Important: Add a short delay (here 5.0 seconds) to give the AR Subsystem enough time to initialise the Camera.
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
// Create a session configuration
let configuration = ARWorldTrackingConfiguration()
// Run the view's session
sceneView.session.run(configuration)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5.0) {
let shipMesh = self.sceneView.scene.rootNode.childNode(withName: "shipMesh", recursively: true)
shipMesh?.geometry?.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = self.sceneView.scene.background.contents
}
}
I hope, this is what you were looking for.

Convert SwiftUI View to UIImage on iOS 14+

I can convert any SwiftUI View to a high resolution UIImage, using the code below. It works great... until... I try to use an image size larger than CGSize(width: 2730, height: 2730).
If I increase the image size to CGSize(width: 2731, height: 2731) or larger, the line:
self.drawHierarchy(in: self.layer.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true)
in "extension UIView", can no longer draw the UIImage.
Any idea on why there is a size limitation?
One Note: I can overcome the size limitation by uncommenting the 2 lines in the "extension View" and replacing:
self.drawHierarchy(in: self.layer.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true)
With:
layer.render(in: context.cgContext)
in the "extension UIView"... But THEN "layer.render" will not render image effects such as "blur", SceneKit subviews, or metal. So using "self.drawHierarchy" is a must.
// 1: Set breakpoint on line: print("done") to inspect the high res image
// 2: Run, then tap the image on screen to inspect the highresImage
// 3: repeat after changing the size to CGSize = CGSize(width: 2731, height: 2731)
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
#State var blurRadius: CGFloat = 4.0
let imageSize: CGSize = CGSize(width: 2730, height: 2730)
var body: some View {
testView
.frame(width: 300, height: 300)
.onTapGesture {
// Adjust blur radius based on high res image scale
blurRadius *= imageSize.width * 0.5/300
// Capture high res image of swiftUI view
let highresImage = testView.asImage(size: imageSize)
// set breakpoint here to inspect the high res image size, quality, etc.
print("done")
// reset blur radius back to 4
blurRadius = 4
}
}
var testView: some View {
ZStack {
Color.blue
Circle()
.fill(Color.red)
}
.blur(radius: blurRadius)
}
}
extension UIView {
func asImage() -> UIImage {
let format = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat()
format.scale = 1
return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: self.layer.frame.size, format: format).image { context in
self.drawHierarchy(in: self.layer.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true)
//layer.render(in: context.cgContext)
}
}
}
extension View {
func asImage(size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let controller = UIHostingController(rootView: self)
controller.view.bounds = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
//UIApplication.shared.windows.first!.rootViewController?.view.addSubview(controller.view)
let image = controller.view.asImage()
//controller.view.removeFromSuperview()
return image
}
}
I can't figure out why, but it works for me, after changing the y-coordinate of the view's origin to anything non zero. This may be a bug in UIHostingController.
If you use a very small Int, you can't see the difference, e.g.:
controller.view.bounds = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0.0001), size: size)

Using #IBDesignable for a gradient view

I am using the below to create a gradient view that is visible in IB:
import UIKit
import QuartzCore
#IBDesignable
class FAUGradientView: UIView {
#IBInspectable var firstColor:UIColor = UIColor.clear
#IBInspectable var secondColor:UIColor = UIColor.clear
#IBInspectable var startPoint:CGPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.0)
#IBInspectable var endPoint:CGPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y:0.0)
var gradientLayer:CAGradientLayer!
override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
super.draw(rect)
gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
self.gradientLayer.colors = [firstColor, secondColor]
self.gradientLayer.startPoint = self.startPoint
self.gradientLayer.endPoint = self.endPoint
self.gradientLayer.frame = self.frame
self.layer.addSublayer(self.gradientLayer)
}
}
However, what I get in IB is a solid black view, not a view with a two color gradient, as seen below:
Solved it. They need to be cgColors, but XCode doesn't give you a single error to indicate that.
[firstColor.cgColor, secondColor.cgColor]
The above fixes the issue.
Works well, but;
self.gradientLayer.frame = self.frame
should be
self.gradientLayer.frame = self.bounds
or you can get some very odd draw offsets depending on where the view is within the parent

SKScene and Swift Files are not linking

In my xcode project I am trying to transition from one SKScene to another. What triggers the transition is the touching of a SKLabelNode. All of that is working correctly. But after the scene changes none of my code from my class that controls the "StartScence.sks" works. It seems as if my "StartScene.swift" and my "StartScene.sks" are not linked.
This is the code in my GameScene,
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
var isTouched: Bool = false
var booleanTouched: Bool!
let ns = SKScene(fileNamed: "StartScene")
let crosswf = SKTransition.crossFadeWithDuration(2)
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
let backgroundimage = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "ipbg")
backgroundimage.size = CGSize(width: self.frame.size.width, height: self.frame.size.height)
backgroundimage.position = CGPoint(x: self.frame.size.width / 2, y: self.frame.size.height / 2)
addChild(backgroundimage)
let playButton = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: "")
playButton.name = "play"
playButton.position = CGPoint(x: self.frame.size.width / 2, y: self.frame.size.height / 2 + 100)
playButton.text = "Play"
let wait = SKAction.waitForDuration(2)
let run = SKAction.runBlock({
let randomNumber = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(4)))
switch(randomNumber){
case (0):
playButton.fontColor = UIColor.blueColor()
case 1:
playButton.fontColor = UIColor.yellowColor()
case 2:
playButton.fontColor = UIColor.purpleColor()
case 3:
playButton.fontColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
default: print("default")
}
})
addChild(playButton)
var repeatActionForever = SKAction.repeatActionForever(SKAction.sequence([wait, run]))
runAction(repeatActionForever)
backgroundimage.zPosition = 1
playButton.zPosition = 2
}
override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
let touch = touches.first! as UITouch
let touchLocation = touch.locationInNode(self)
let touchedNode = nodeAtPoint(touchLocation)
if (touchedNode.name == "play"){
scene!.view?.presentScene(ns!, transition: crosswf)
}else{
}
}
override func update(currentTime: CFTimeInterval) {
/* Called before each frame is rendered */
}
}
And this is the code that is my "StartScene.swift" that isnt controlling the "StartScene.sks" properly.
import SpriteKit
class StartScene: SKScene {
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
print("Scene Loaded")
}
}
There's two things to be aware of.
In your code you are currently loading your .SKS file like this
let ns = SKScene(fileNamed: "StartScene")
Your new scene will load, as all SKS Files are of the class SKScene.
But, it will only use code from that class.
If you want it to load with the code in your class StartScene, a subclass of SKScene. Change the line to this
let ns = StartScene(fileNamed: "StartScene")
We can also make the SKS File have a custom class instead of it's default SKScene. So when it's loaded it uses a custom class.
Open the SKS File in Xcode so you can give the scene a Custom Class. In the scene editor and with nothing selected. Click in the utilities area, switch to the Custom Class Inspector, which is the last tab on the right.
Give it a Custom Class of StartScene.
It should work.

How can I make SKSpriteNode positions the same for any simulator/device?

In my game, the position of my SKNodes slightly change when I run the App on a virtual simulator vs on a real device(my iPad).
Here are pictures of what I am talking about.
This is the virtual simulator
This is my Ipad
It is hard to see, but the two red boxes are slightly higher on my iPad than in the simulator
Here is how i declare the size and position of the red boxes and green net:
The following code is located in my GameScene.swift file
func loadAppearance_Rim1() {
Rim1 = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.redColor(), size: CGSizeMake((frame.size.width) / 40, (frame.size.width) / 40))
Rim1.position = CGPointMake(((frame.size.width) / 2.23), ((frame.size.height) / 1.33))
Rim1.zPosition = 1
addChild(Rim1)
}
func loadAppearance_Rim2(){
Rim2 = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.redColor(), size: CGSizeMake((frame.size.width) / 40, (frame.size.width) / 40))
Rim2.position = CGPoint(x: ((frame.size.width) / 1.8), y: ((frame.size.height) / 1.33))
Rim2.zPosition = 1
addChild(Rim2)
}
func loadAppearance_RimNet(){
RimNet = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.greenColor(), size: CGSizeMake((frame.size.width) / 7.5, (frame.size.width) / 150))
RimNet.position = CGPointMake(frame.size.width / 1.99, frame.size.height / 1.33)
RimNet.zPosition = 1
addChild(RimNet)
}
func addBackground(){
//background
background = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "Background")
background.zPosition = 0
background.size = self.frame.size
background.position = CGPoint(x: self.size.width / 2, y: self.size.height / 2)
self.addChild(background)
}
Additionally my GameViewController.swift looks like this
import UIKit
import SpriteKit
class GameViewController: UIViewController {
var scene: GameScene!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//Configure the view
let skView = view as! SKView
//If finger is on iphone, you cant tap again
skView.multipleTouchEnabled = false
//Create and configure the scene
//create scene within size of skview
scene = GameScene(size: skView.bounds.size)
scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill
scene.size = skView.bounds.size
//scene.anchorPoint = CGPointZero
//present the scene
skView.presentScene(scene)
}
override func shouldAutorotate() -> Bool {
return true
}
override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
if UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Phone {
return .Landscape
} else {
return .All
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
return true
}
}
How can I make the positions of my nodes be the same for each simulator/physical device?
You should round those floating point values to integers via a call to (int)round(float) so that the values snap to whole pixels. Any place where you use CGPoint or CGSize should use whole pixels as opposed to floating point values.
If you are making a Universal application you need to declare the size of the scene using integer values. Here is an example:
scene = GameScene(size:CGSize(width: 2048, height: 1536))
Then when you initialize the positions and sizes of your nodes using CGPoint and CGSize, make them dependant on SKScene size. Here is an example:
node.position = CGPointMake(self.frame.size.width / 2, self.frame.size.height / 2)
If you declare the size of the scene for a Universal App like this:
scene.size = skView.bounds.size
then your SKSpriteNode positions will be all messed up. You may also need to change the scaleMode to .ResizeFill. This worked for me.
