ARFoundation Skybox camera or background

Hi!
Can I use a skybox as a background in the camera for ARFoundation?

Thanks

 

The ARCameraBackground script is what renders the camera feed to the background. You do not need to use this in order to enable pose tracking. The default Unity Camera (without this script) will give you a skybox. Is that what you mean? No camera feed at all?

 

This sounds like something I want to do. Is it possible to switch between a camera feed and a skybox during runtime, ie switch of the ARCameraBackground and display the skybox, and vica versa?

 

Sure. You can either
1. Have two cameras with different setups and toggle them OR
2. Have one camera and disable the ARBackgroundCamera and switch the CameraClearFlags from solid color to skybox.

 

Is it possible to do a LERP kind of thing between the two?
Instead of the switch to just be instant, I'd like to fade between them

 

if you make your own material you can grab the feed in a shader and apply many types of effect to the feed including fading it out

 

Could you give me some more info on this please? Just a standard material, then stick that into the camera background?
Or what kind of material and where do I put it?

 

You’d need to write your own shader

 

Hi yea, did you figure out how to work this out?

 

This was a while back now, but if I remember correctly, I could not make it work as they suggested.

However I worked around it, by simply adding a large 3D sphere over my scene and applying a texture to it (I inverted the sphere's normals in 3ds Max so they point inward)

At start of my app I would disable the sphere, and when I want to show it, I simply enabled it.
