Resources online

Hi all, I'm testing the "Image Target" application, and I see that the images and models are kept in the same application.

I want to know if there is a way to download the resources in real time, when detecting the target image.

Thanks

Unity provides several convenience mechanisms to download and render 3D models, images and possibly other resources;

in particular, you could use the WWW class which allows to easily download resources from some URL at runtime, and the AssetBundles;

Hi,

one reason for this could be that your asset bundle is not centered and/or scaled properly under your image target;

what you could try is to:
