When using gestures to transform entities, we often need to use the initial transform (before the gesture) in our calculations. Here is one approach to capture that value in a custom component when using Gesture Component in visionOS 26.

Environment Blending Component gives us some control over how how entities blend in with objects in our environment.

It's not perfect or instantaneous, but it is pretty neat. Hopefully we'll see this component improve over time.

RealityKit simplifies many common actions like spin, orbit, playing audio, etc. These Entity Actions can be used in code or in Timelines when using Reality Composer Pro.

We can't use Gestures and Manipulation at the same time, but we can use a workaround to simulate taps.

Lab 089 shows two ways to load materials from Reality Composer Pro.

✅ Get the material from the Model Component of an Entity
✅ Load ShaderGraphMaterials directly from files

RealityKit Basics: Exploring SwiftUi Animations

Building on what we learned last week, let's update several RealityKit component values using a few built-in animations. This demo animates scale, material color, and light angle.
