SceneKit

A scene graph—a hierarchy of nodes with attached geometries, lights, cameras and other attributes that together form a displayable 3D scene.

A view for displaying 3D SceneKit content.

Use nodes to define the structure of a scene.

A structural element of a scene graph, representing a position and transform in a 3D coordinate space, to which you can attach geometry, lights, cameras, or other displayable content.

A scene graph node that serves as a placeholder for content to be loaded from a separate scene file.

Vectors, matrices, and related functions and operations.

Methods and properties common to the SCNView, SCNLayer and SCNRenderer classes.

Methods your app can implement to participate in SceneKit’s animation loop or perform additional rendering.

A Core Animation layer that renders a SceneKit scene as its content.

A renderer for displaying SceneKit scene in an an existing Metal workflow or OpenGL context.

Detailed information about a result from searching for elements of a scene located at a specified point, or along a specified line segment (or ray).

A set of camera attributes that can be attached to a node to provide a point of view for displaying the scene.

A light source that can be attached to a node to illuminate the scene.

A set of shading attributes that define the appearance of a geometry's surface when rendered.

A container for the color or texture of one of a material’s visual properties.

A three-dimensional shape (also called a model or mesh) that can be displayed in a scene, with attached materials that define its appearance.

A container for vertex data forming part of the definition for a three-dimensional object, or geometry.

A container for index data describing how vertices connect to define a three-dimensional object, or geometry.

Basic shapes such as spheres, boxes, and planes, and features for generating 3D objects from 2D text and Bézier curves.

Create declarative animations that move elements of a scene in predetermined ways, or manage animations imported with external authoring tools.

Automatically adjust the position or orientation of a node based on specified rules.

An object that manages the relationship between skeletal animations and the nodes and geometries they animate.

An object that manages smooth transitions between a node's base geometry and one or more target geometries.

Add dynamic behaviors to objects in a scene; detect collisions and respond to contacts between objects; simulate realistic physical effects like gravity, springs, and vehicles.

Manages the animation and rendering of a system of small image sprites, or particles, using a high-level simulation whose general behavior you specify.

An animation for a single property of the individual particles rendered by a particle system.

A simple, reusable audio source—music or sound effects loaded from a file—for use in positional audio playback.

A controller for playback of a positional audio source in a SceneKit scene.

Methods for customizing SceneKit's rendering of geometry and materials using Metal or OpenGL shader programs.

A complete Metal or OpenGL shader program that replaces SceneKit's rendering of a geometry or material.

An object that manages a Metal buffer used by a custom shader program.

A specification for augmenting or postprocessing SceneKit's rendering of a scene using additional drawing passes with custom Metal or OpenGL shaders.

The common interface for SceneKit objects that support multipass rendering using SCNTechnique objects.

Methods you can implement to use your own custom Metal or OpenGL drawing code to render content for a node.

Manages the data-reading tasks associated with loading scene contents from a file or data.

Makes SceneKit classes and global constants available to the specified JavaScript context.
