Experience with differents customs Thingmarks

[tgall77]

Hello,

I'm trying to add customs Thingmarks to my Visual Studio Experience.

1. I used the Adobe Illustrator scripts to create one with the same shapes as the PTC thingmark.

2. I had the svg file to my Vuforia Developer Portal database

3. I exported differents samples of the Thingmark

4. I had the differents thingmarks on the builder-settings.json file with the same id as the ready-to-use PTC thingmarks

5. I restarded Vuforia Studio

6. I published my experience linked to the new Thingmarks

Problem : The Thingmarks are not recognized by Vuforia View... 

I also tried to change the svg file directly by changing the brights and darks elements, but same issue.

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

Thomas

Hi @tgall77,

so far I know Studio currently only supports using ThingMarks. And the PTC development does  not have any short term plans to support  this functionality.

What you could do is to change your thingmark

Simple change the area inside the hexagon - so believe this also should work.

Hi Thomas,

Studio/View does not support custom ThingMarks at this time. The outside of ThingMarks contain encoding that allow View to find the associated experiences. Without this encoding, View will not recognize the ThingMark. 

If you want to use custom images for experiences, I would suggest using the 'image target' functionality instead of ThingMarks.
