Oculus Quest (Android) ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null

I’m having an issue with GTLFUtility’s runtime importing on the Oculus Quest. Works great on Mac/Windows and I’m loving the lightweight approach vs other GLTF Importer options.

I’m not entirely sure if this is a issue with the package or user error, but figured I’d send up the logs in hopes of some help.

I’m currently building on Windows 10 using Unity 2019.2.9f1

Logs:

I was having the same issue, but as a Unity noob it took me a while to figure out how to add the GLTFUtility to the Always Included Shader List. Here’s my guide:

Open Edit -> Project Settings Open Graphics Scroll to Always Included Shaders Under Size, increase the value by 4 and hit Enter. In the Project panel, navigate to Packages/GLTFUtility/Materials/Built-in. In this directory are 4 .shader files. Drag and drop each of the 4 files into one of the 4 newly created rows in Always Included Shaders.

Hope this helps someone in future!

I was also incurring on a similar problem using GLTFUtility + Oculus Quest

Including the GLTFUtility shaders on the always included Shader list in unity fixed the problem.

Siccity thumbs up for GLTFUtility
