Release notes

This page provides release notes for the Android SDK extensions.

v2.2.0 was released on September 13, 2024.

Stickers

This version adds the sticker feature that uses the face capture driver and follows the character's head movements. The SDK provides subpackages for glasses (material_sticker_glass), masks (material_sticker_facemask), veils (material_sticker_veil), and dragon head hats (material_sticker_dragonhat). You can load the corresponding scene resources to quickly experience the effects of different stickers.

Portrait edge light

This release adds a new portrait edge light effect. To experience it, specify the subpackage resource as material_effect_ray when loading scene resources.

Advertising light text-to-image

This version adds a text-to-image feature for the advertising lights. When setting the advertising light effects, you can specify the text content through the text parameter and add animation effects through the animation parameter. This includes jumping, waving, or swaying, to make the text appear dynamically on the screen.

This update adds support for loadMaterial and unloadMaterial in setExtensionProperty.

• When using loadMaterial to load scene resources, you can specify the resource path of the required subpackage. The engine will automatically request the scene texture and render the scene.
• If you need to switch to another scene, just use loadMaterial again to pass in another subpackage resource path. The engine will automatically switch to the new scene.
• When you no longer need to experience the scene, use unloadMaterial to uninstall scene resources.

This improvement significantly enhances the usability of the extension. You can quickly experience different functional use-cases by simply specifying different subpackage resource paths when loading.

Added

• loadMaterial
• unloadMaterial

v2.1.0 was released on March 6, 2024.

This update optimizes the performance of the MetaKit extension and adds support for two new keys in setExtensionProperty: requestTexture and switchTextureAvatarMode. These replace the original addSceneView and switchAvatarMode functions, respectively. The new interface supports automatic generation and return of texture data, which is then directly rendered, previewed, encoded, and transmitted through the SDK. This enhancement improves rendering performance, reduces latency, and ensures more efficient operation and a better user experience.

Added

• requestTexture
• switchTextureAvatarMode
