scenekit Guide
Build 3D scenes and visualizations using SceneKit. Use when creating 3D views with SCNView and SCNScene, building node hierarchies with SCNNode, applying materials and lighting, animating with SCNAction, simulating physics with SCNPhysicsBody, loading 3D models (.usdz, .scn), adding particle effects, or embedding SceneKit in SwiftUI with SceneView. Note: SceneKit was deprecated at WWDC 2025 and is in maintenance mode; RealityKit is recommended for new projects.
