Mastering SceneKit in Swift 5: A Complete Guide for iOS Developers

 SceneKit is Apple's high-level 3D graphics framework that enables developers to create immersive 3D experiences with minimal effort. Built on top of OpenGL ES and Metal, SceneKit provides a scene graph-based architecture that makes 3D development accessible to iOS developers without requiring deep knowledge of low-level graphics programming. What is SceneKit and When to Use It? SceneKit is ideal for: 3D Games : Casual to mid-complexity 3D games Augmented Reality : AR experiences using ARKit Data Visualization : 3D charts and interactive visualizations Product Showcases : Interactive 3D product demos Educational Apps : 3D models for learning Architectural Visualization : Building and interior design apps When NOT to use SceneKit: High-performance AAA games (consider Metal or Unity instead) Applications requiring maximum graphics performance Complex particle systems with thousands of particles SceneKit Architecture Overview SceneKit follows a scene graph architectu...
