We have eagerly and daily been watching this blogpost for any update on the source code. Our team are really interested in looking into AR technology similar to that integrated with the Forge Viewer. Does any of the Forge developers happen to know whether there's any updates coming or if there's any other AR material to look into at the moment? Thanks a lot.
Pex. That blog post should have a reference to the 'beta sign up' page. I'll update it now.
You should start with the signup page to give you a feel for the toolkit. Unfortunately, we have found an issue with load performance for large scenes we are addressing. This has delayed that blog post and release of that source code.
Here is the beta sign up page: beta.autodesk.com/
and then select: 'AR|VR Toolkit'
There is a downloads section and tutorials as well as a beta-forum to add your feedback.
Let me know if you have trouble with the signup.

I am using the steps detailed at this link -- https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/show-revit-custom-texture-map-viewer
to translate and view the Revit model with texture. But textures are not reflected in the Forge viewer.
Apologizing for any inconvenience had caused to you. This is a known issue logged as RVTLMV-1097 by our engineering team, and they are still evaluating it currently.
Therefore, please remember the RVTLMV prefixed id for future reference, and you're welcome to track updates anytime in the future via sending an email to forge[dot]help[AT]autodesk[dot]com with this id.
We appreciate your understanding and patience.
I received a proposal from a client where I should create an app with facebook registration, so I started searching the web for all kinds of ANE or SWC that do this service, the problem is that the instructions given on how to configure these ANEs are very shallow (many sometimes I miss the tutorial because they seem to skip several parts or leave them incomplete), among which I tried to configure are: myflashlab-facebook-sdk, OverGenANE, freshplanet, marpies-air-facebook-api.
I tried some youtube videos showing facebook-open-graph-api among others, but all I get are piles of errors, I've configured hashkey and every side of the application on facebook Developer the problem is to understand how to configure the ANEs inside Animate CC (that even inserting APP_ID continues to generate errors), even the owner of marpies-air-facebook-api tried to help me with his ANE and I did not succeed, maybe my knowledge is still low for this.
I've rounded the whole web behind information and tutorials, here is my last attempt before giving up the construction of the app, if anyone knows some REALLY easy way to integrate some of these ANEs (or others), have step by step explaining in detail their configuration (where to create the ".fla "within the sample folders of these projects for example), please help me! Thank you very much in advance..
The question is pretty clear I think, but I will elaborate on why I'm asking it.
I created a little blog engine based on OneNote. Basically, the blog configuration asks for an access to OneNote. Then the user chooses a section under which the blog posts are stored.
There is a cron script that will use all these informations to automatically get new pages, fetch the medias and cache every, and finally display the posts.
I chose OneNote because I own three Windows 8 computers and a Windows Phone, so OneNote was an easy choice, as I didn't want to get an other application to manage my blog.
There is still a lot to do (as always with softwares...), but I want to make this more or less an open source project, so that other people can install it on their websites and link it directely to OneNote.
The only "big" obstacle for this now is that authentication in the OneNote API needs to register the application on the Live Connect, and specify a redirect domain. So every user wishing to use this blog engine on their server will have to register their own application... That will look complicated just for a blog, especially if you're not tech-savvy.
Is there a way to "skip" or work around this requirement, even if it requires the user to make the section public (as it is for a blog, this doesn't seem too much to ask) ?
Thank you in advance,
Cheers
Sounds like an awesome project! When you get it released be sure to let us know at #OneNoteDev.
Unfortunately, at this time there's no way to circumvent the requirement for Live Connect OAuth configuration. You could offer a hosted variant so only you need to worry about the LiveID configuration.
First time post here, so forgive me for any bad etiquette/format.
I will preface by saying:
I have (over the last few months) been developing an iOS app for work. To be more specific, I am developing an inventory app to track bar inventory (liquor, beer, wine, etc). I can give more specifics on request if needed. I have most of the functionality done, only a couple more things I would like to implement. Eventually I will be porting it to Android as well.
At the moment, I have the model objects being archived to the local filesystem for saving and loading of data. However, my goal would be to database the model objects with the ability to display the information on a webpage. My logic is that no matter where the user is, he/she will be able to sign in to a service using a username and password, and view correctly formatted current/past inventories online. This is to allow the ability for a bartender to record the inventory, and have the bar manager view the inventory instances without having to have the physical device that recorded the inventory in his/her possession.
So here is my question:
Without being too general, what kind of service would I need to pull this off? I have a good amount of relevant front-end experience, specifically with iOS, Objective-C, HTML and CSS. However, I have ZERO experience on the back-end. I have researched around the internet, and I am aware of things such as cloud databases, web hosting and MySQL, etc. However, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer without asking my specific question. I suppose I would just like to be pointed in the right direction before investing money and time into a service that may prove useless to my cause.
Any resources and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
There's not a definitive answer and you have a lot of options.
For me, the simplest is to set up a server with a database incorporated (mysql for example) and with a web service (written in PHP for example) that manages the database and queries on that.
Online you can find tons of guide on how to write a script in PHP that manages a database:
http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/2
For the iOS part you can follow also this guide:

Good luck!
Is there a way to get a user's achievements list from Xbox without dealing with screen scraping etc.?
How do sites like http://www.trueachievements.com do it? (they're definitely not screen scraping as they do not have my Live ID credentials...)
I know there's the Xbox LIVE Community Developer Program (XCDP) that provides some API but they do not provide achievements information as far as I can tell (links below)
http://duncanmackenzie.net/Blog/put-up-a-rest-api-for-xbox-gamertag-data
http://file-pasta.com/file/XML_Feeds.pdf
If you want this information you can check out my new site https://xboxapi.com.
Again if your profile is public then you can see friends, games and achievements. This has taken me over a year (on and off) to code and is now in public beta. To date it has served nearly 2,000 requests and growing. I am still working on optimising this script and it should only get better in time.
I currently have an API request limit setup for 120 requests per hour per IP.
Lets hope there are no major updates to xbox.com any time soon.
It says at the bottom of the TrueAchievements website that they are a member of the Xbox LIVE Community Developer Program. That leads me to believe that the XCDP does give information about achievements. Duncan Mackenzie's API for xbox worked for me for a little while, but then his web service seemed to go offline. Duncan also says that his web service will not be returning sadly. I can't get ahold of him to ask for release of his source code. I'm currently looking for another solution in retrieving the data. Unless I can get official access with XCDP, it looks like I'll have to do screen scraping. The screen scraping approach is not going to be pretty though. I'll let you know if I get any more information.
The current XCDP API does not give you any individual achievement information. At the moment the only way to get achievements is by page scraping and as of a couple months ago Microsoft has removed their non-JS log in form for xbox.com making it very difficult to log in. TA has found a way to get around this but he's trying to monopolize the scene and isn't willing to help others on this topic.
Even though TA does not have your LIVE credentials if your xbox.com page is public and if you give them your gamertag anyone can get your information by going to http://live.xbox.com/en-US/GameCenter?compareTo=GAMERTAGHERE
With the change the Microsoft has done they've also modified achievement icons. If you're looking at a friends profile and if you don't have the game or have unlocked the achievement the icon will be monochromatic even if it's unlocked by that person.
