Release Sceneform SDK for Android v1.7.0 · google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk

Added Augmented Faces sample to demonstrate using ARCore's Augmented Faces API.
Added Animation sample to demonstrate using animated FBX models in Sceneform.

New APIs and capabilities

Sceneform includes an optional animation library, com.google.ar.sceneform:animation which enables animation playback.
Added ModelAnimator and AnimationData classes. Sceneform now has the ability to play animated models.
Added SkeletonNode class which can be used to bind nodes to bones in a skinned renderable, making it possible to attach objects to bones, access the positions of bones, and manipulate the positions of bones directly.
Added the ability to retrieve submesh names via Renderable.getSubmeshName().
Added pauseAsync() and resumeAsync() to ArSceneView. These are non-blocking versions of pause() and resume().
Added AugmentedFaceNode to the UX library which can be used to render visuals with ARCore's Augmented Faces feature. See the new sample in the /samples/augmentedfaces/ directory to learn more.
Added getSessionFeatures() in BaseArFragment which can be used to specify fundamental session features. See ARCore's Session(Context context, Set<Feature> features).
Added ArSceneView.setCameraStreamRenderPriority(…) to make it possible to control what order the camera stream is rendered in. This is useful for writing custom materials for occlusion.
Added Vector3.equals(Vector3) and Quaterion.equals(Quaterion).
Exposed Quaternion(Vector3 eulerAngles) and Quaternion.eulerAngles() publicly.

FBX import to SFB has been updated to respect the axes & units used to export the model. As a consequence, re-importing previously imported FBX models may result in the scale of the generated SFB changing. This new functionality will only apply to newly imported models with SFA version of 0.54:2 or higher.

Added the canonical ARCore face mesh FBX in assets/canonical_face_mesh.fbx. Use this file to create custom meshes for Augmented Faces apps.
Fixed Issue 479 - adding tilt to each planet in the solar system sample.

Unlit glTF materials will no longer be tonemapped, preserving the original color on the screen.
Fixed Issue 413 - leak of BaseArFragment when View/Activity are destroyed.
Fixed Issue 390 - fade mode layering wrong.
Fixed Issue 504 - Sceneform-base.aar missing min-sdk AndroidManifest.xml entry.
After a resource failed to load, later requests for the same resource would just report the old failure. Later requests for failed resources will now retry.
