Huh? That literally says that the (higher-level) "Sceneform" library uses Filament for the PBR, isn't that the opposite of it being forgotten? What am I missing, I really don't follow Android development ...


You should pay more attention to the whole site,

"Sceneform SDK for Android was open sourced and archived (github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk) with version 1.16.0."


Sceneform != Filament. Sceneform was an AR-oriented framework that used Filament as its renderer. Filament itself is very much alive and under active development.


As far as I remember, one was used to implement the other.

Can you provide examples of commercial Google products and SDKs using Filament?


Like I said, Sceneform used Filament (not the other way around). I know of a few Google products that use Filament but having left the company I'm not sure what I'm at liberty to talk about unfortunately. Btw, I'm one of the authors of Filament :)


I know, I do follow you since the Filthy Rich Client blog series at Sun, hence why I asked.
