Anyone who has experienced artworks in augmented reality may have wondered why they usually don't look as hyper-realistic as they tend to do in 3D renderings. The lack of realism is, of course, due to the fact that hyperrealistic renderings are graphically more complex and require immense computational power for realistic material and light calculations. That's why materials play an integral role in creating the illusion of realism in augmented reality.

How to optimize 3D files for AR

14.07.2022

The complexity of your 3D models in AR determines how many frames of your experience can be displayed and how smoothly everything runs. Complexity contributors are high resolution textures, high polygon counts and complex scenes that cause many draw calls for different objects. All this is also reflected in the file size, which is a good indication of the complexity of a model.
