Is it possible that an object placed in AR (iOS) casts a shadow on the floor?
Hi James, in the mean time are there any tricks/shortcuts for creating a shadow plane under the model?
We're really enjoying being able to place design concepts in AR.

This will be implemented in our next release. In AR, we'll remove lighting from the scene and add lighting from above to cast shadows on a plane below the model. This should make the models look less like they are floating.
Hello,
Any news of this flat plane with transparency ?
I try to do something like that, but it doesn’t work on other background than plain white
If you implement an option to do that automatically, it will be great.
Regards.
Hi @laurent.imasud,
if you get the latest version of the Sketchfab app (for Android or iOS), models should automatically have a shadow when switching to AR.
Hi @mauricesvay
Thank you for the info for the sketchfab app.
Is there a way to have the same thing on PC ?
Maybe I missed a button somewhere to activate that transparent plane ?
Regards.
It’s only available for mobile AR at the moment. We’re not doing it on PC, because it would interfere with the lighting.
On PC, I still recommend you to add the plane yourself. It’s the best way to keep control over its rendering and lighting.
