Does lightship support dynamic Ar models? Model files and parameters are obtained from the network

Hello @italia,

Although Lightship does not currently offer any specific functionality for hosting or transmitting remote models, there shouldn’t be any issue with using dynamically allocated models from another service or self-hosted solution in your Lightship Unity project.

We tried this with Unity asset bundles (and optionally addressables) and it worked well!
This way you could have a startscreen where you can download the bundles and load them into the game. Only drawback is you can’t download assets that need to be compiled, so no scripts or shaders.
I looked at this tutorial to get started (then used Firebase to store the files): ARFoundation Unity Tutorial: Asset Bundles (Download 3D Models At Runtime) - YouTube
