Getting Thumbnail of a model with AR/VR Toolkit?

Question

It is possible to retrieve a Thumbnail of a model with Forge AR/VR Toolkit(Unity)?

It seems thumbnail can be retrieved with below API, but what about AR/VR toolkit? https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/model-derivative/v2/reference/http/urn-thumbnail-GET/

Please note that we are using the latest version of AR/VR Toolkit (ForgeARKit-update-6-2018.1.unitypackage) which is retrieving model from 'https://developer-api-beta.autodesk.io'.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Answer 1

There is no endpoint for retriving thumbnail in AR/VR Toolkit Api (https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/cyrillef/forge-ar_kit/1.2.1).

But you have the URN of your Model, so why not calling the url directly? (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityWebRequest-RetrievingTextBinaryData.html)

Answer 2

Although there's no relevant endpoint/Unity script via the AR/VR toolkit you can still retrieve thumbnail for your model via the GET Thumbnail endpoint using the URN as you usually do once it's processed via the Forge Model Derivative service.
