How to solve Google Sceneform Tools ​(Beta) Plugin installation error in Android Studio 4.1?

I want to use Google ARCore in my app. So I want to install Google Sceneform Tools plugin. But after installation and restart the IDE I see this notification:

"Plugin Error: Plugin "Google Sceneform Tools (Beta)" is incompatible (supported only in IntelliJ IDEA)."

Here it is

Am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • As said before, Sceneform is now deprecated, but... You can deal with it by three ways:

    1. Installing older version of Android Studio (3.5.2 or lower) and then Sceneform plugin should work normally.
    2. Using this GitHub repo. It is somehow based on Sceneform plugin but works externally. With basic knowledge of cmd/bash it allowes you to convert .obj files to .sfa and .sfb files. But in my case it could not properly convert .fbx animated 3D models.
    3. Following guide in the documentation you should be able to load .glb and .gltf at runtime without any conversion.

    I hope this will help to someone ;)
