Herding Llamas in your Flat-A Deep Dive Into Arcore and Sceneform
summary
A practical deep dive into ARCore plus Sceneform that builds a live sample: place llamas and fences, import Poly models and run the SFA/SFB pipeline (or script the conversion to avoid thousands of Gradle tasks), compute bounding boxes and downsize textures, and load models with one-line RenderableBuilder calls. Shadows work but track detected plane fragments; animation uses ObjectAnimator for Vector3 or per-frame rotation; no built-in physics or collision resolution so the app implements a simple push-away overlap resolution. Emulator AR needs OpenGL ES 3.1 and all sample code is on GitHub.
