Unity fails to load model target data set.

By JussiKoo on Wed, 12/20/2017 - 08:58

Hello!

I am testing the model targets in unity, but I am probably missing something obvious as it is not working as expected.

I have created the model target using the Vuforia model target generator. That created the unitypackage, which I then imported to my project. (Do I need to import something else also?) In the project, I created the AR camera and model target GameObject, activated the newly imported database from the VuforiaConfiguration and made sure that the model target is using my custom database.

 

When pressing play, the console pops up an error: 

 

Failed to load data set New_Model_Target.

UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)

Vuforia.DatabaseLoadARController:LoadDatasets()

Vuforia.VuforiaARController:Start()

System.Delegate:DynamicInvoke(Object[])

Vuforia.DelegateHelper:InvokeDelegate(Delegate, Object[])

Vuforia.DelegateHelper:InvokeWithExceptionHandling(Action)

Vuforia.VuforiaBehaviour:Start()

 

 

What am I doing wrong?

Same issue using Unity 2017.3

 

Additionally, when importing the unityPackage I get the following errors:

Package does not contain valid import settings for: Assets/Editor/Vuforia/DataSetName/authoringinfo.xml

Also have the issue. 

No errors or anything when I import the model, as well as building the project - I just can't load it (in editor and on iOS).

Hello all,

You'll need a license key generated after the release of Vuforia 7 for the Model Targets feature to function with custom data.

Thanks,

Vuforia Support

I'd still like to have this communicated to the user upon running into the problem, as the amount of people with this problem seems to be quite big, given the short amount of time the tools have been publicly available! 

But thanks a lot, it's working!

Hi again,

 

The problem was sorted by going from "Portrait" to "Landscape" in the target model generator, despite the application running in portrait mode.

Is there a way to have a license renewed? We purchased a Classic license before Vuforia 7 was released and would like to add Model Targets to our project. 

Hello,

Unfortunately, we don't have a license renewal or upgrade mechanism for Classic licenses. In order to utilize the Model Targets feature, you will have to purchase a new license that enables it.

If you close Unity and delete the Library folder in your project root the library should be recalculated on the next startup. In this case my imported model-target prefab is throwing the following warning:
