How to use an OVROverlay Cubemap?
Hi All, For this question assume that I'm in the Cubes scene included in the OVR SDK. I'm on mobile using a Galaxy S6 with the GearVR. In that scene, I used the OVRCameraRig to generate a cube...
@imperativity I am working on a unity desktop application and would like to use a cubemap overlay to hide dropped frames while loading a scene, but I cant get it to work. A quad works fine, but when I try to use a cubemap all I see in vr is the hourglass icon. There are no errors/warnings/messages in the unity console. Debugging shows that OVROverlay.SubmitLayer is called with a scale of 1 and a pose with position and rotation (as euler) all 0's. SubmitLayer returns true indicating the overlay is considered visible.
I have tried all combinations of overlay/underlay, dynamic, 1 or 2 cubemaps, but to no avail. I am working with the OculusSampleFramework_1.19.0 unity package, and I'm using the following versions as per the console message: Unity v2017.1.0p4, Oculus Utilities v1.18.1, OVRPlugin v1.18.1, SDK v1.20.0.
Does the issue you mention also apply to desktop applications? Can I view the status of that issue somewhere?
Is there a working example, or documentation specific to cubemaps?
Are there any requirements/limitations I should be aware of?
Thanks, Bas
