Building AR apps with the Sceneform SDK
summary
Sceneform is an Android 3D framework that combines ARCore with a PBR renderer and an Android Studio plugin that converts models into SFA/SFB assets, supports model and view renderables, transformable nodes, and ARCore anchors. Materials use the metallic‑roughness workflow with up to five textures (base color, metallic, roughness, normal, AO). Engine limits: max render 1080p, recommend ≤10,000 triangles per hero asset and ~100 visible objects; renderer uses dynamic resolution and GLTF channel packing to keep performance on mobile.
