Jeffy 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 ❤️🇱🇺I'm looking for some suggestions on where to get started with drawing Core Graphics-like (or similar) primitives onto 3D objects (like SceneKit objects?) -- like painted a filled shape onto a spherical surface.Any help would be appreciated.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ios</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CoreGraphics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoreGraphics</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SceneKit</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3D</a>

Godspeed You! Brick EmperorSo apparently <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Lego" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lego</a> bricks have different colours in them, which is big if true, but I got it working in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SceneKit</a> renderer just on the off chance. And printed parts are also working too

deejeHere’s a look at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3D</a> on Apple platforms. Some thoughts:The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SceneKit</a>/#VisionOS cell is empty because, well, it aint real 3D.I *really* want to get tappr.tv content running inside <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RealityKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealityKit</a> (think 3D UI dance editor). For that to happen, I either need CustomMaterial or next-gen <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShaderGraphMaterial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShaderGraphMaterial</a>.(With ContinuityCamera, I can imagine all kinds of uses for RealityKit on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tvOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tvOS</a>.)Ultimately, this is me making peace with my code base for the next few years :-)

ccoremapdDoes anyone ever use SceneKit or SpriteKit on their games before? And how’s the experience? I’m thinking about trying to learn about SceneKit for my Swift Student Challenge ideas. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#swift</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/scenekit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#scenekit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/spritekit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#spritekit</a>

Phil LetourneauWhen using a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SceneKit</a> Area light type, I can see the rectangular light in the scene, at least the side emitting light. Is there a way to hide the light entirely, but keep the lighting effects on the geometry in the scene? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swift</a>

John PassfieldI’m finishing off the Area 51 game for Retro Arcade while I wait for Brainiversity to launch. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Swift</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SceneKit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SwiftUI</a>

John PassfieldSearching for SceneKit examples yields so few results compared to Unity, so I tried asking AI and man, it works (mostly). I am getting examples of how to use SceneKit functions that I wasn’t aware of or didn’t know how to use. Anyway, new 3D game is progressing well! <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SceneKit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Swift</a>

John PassfieldI am posting short developer WIP videos of upcoming Retro Arcade games to TikTok because TikTok lets me make video content fast! I finally got the desert town into the new mini-game. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/swiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#swiftUI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SceneKit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Swift</a>

John PassfieldAdded banking to the new game. Next up are weapons! <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SceneKit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Swift</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SwiftUI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/AppleWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AppleWatch</a>

John PassfieldMy new game is built with <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SwiftUI</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SceneKit</a>. Getting touch controls with SCNScene inside a SceneView isn't as straight forward as it is with SKScene inside a SpriteView. With SKScene I use touchesBegan() and touchesMoved(). I wanted to use the same code across all the games, so created a SpriteKitHUD class that is SKScene with just touch methods, then stacked that on top of the 3D scene... feels a bit of a hack, but it works.

John PassfieldTrying a ‘Desert Strike’ camera angle for the new game but the jet may be too small on the Watch. I need to play around with it some more. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/AppleWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AppleWatch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SwiftUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SwiftUI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SceneKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SceneKit</a>

John PassfieldOkay, I’m going to try adding a 3D game next to Retro Arcade - here’s a test I did. I’m thinking less city and more Area 51 desert with gameplay inspired by Time Pilot 😀<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/applewatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#applewatch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/iosgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#iosgame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/swiftui" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#swiftui</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/scenekit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#scenekit</a>
