Getting started with Sceneform 2.0.0

Use the following steps to include and build the Sceneform 2.0.0 SDK with your app:

1. Download sceneform-android-sdk-2.0.0.zip from the Sceneform SDK releases page.
2. Extract the sceneform-nxt directory into your project's top-level directory. The resulting directory structure should be similar to the following:

project
+-- app
|   +-- build.gradle
|   +-- ...
+-- sceneform-nxt
|   +-- sceneform
|       +-- build.gradle
|       +-- src
|       +-- ...
+-- build.gradle
+-- settings.gradle
+-- ...

3. Modify your project's settings.gradle to include the Sceneform project:

include ':app'

// Add these lines:
include ':sceneform-nxt'
project(':sceneform-nxt').projectDir=new File('sceneform-nxt/sceneform')

4. Finally, add a reference to the Sceneform SDK to your app's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    api project(":sceneform-nxt")
}

To get started with the Sceneform SDK, check out the Sceneform sample.
