Remarks
All geometry in SceneKit is described by subclasses of SCNGeometry:
| SCNCapsule | A pill-shaped capsule with adjustable end caps |  |
| SCNCone | A cone whose top can be truncated |  |
| A rectangular box. |  | |
| SCNCylinder | A cylinder. |  |
| SCNFloor | An infinite plane with the ability to reflect the geometry above it. |  |
| SCNPlane | A one-sided rectangle. |  |
| SCNPyramid | A tetrahedron. |  |
| SCNShape | A 2D shape that has been extruded into the 3rd dimension. |  |
| SCNSphere | A ball. |  |
| SCNText | Extruded text. |  |
| SCNTorus | A donut shape. |  |
| SCNTube | An uncapped cylinder. | |
Subclasses are typically instantiated with a static Create factory method rather than a constructor.
In addition, SceneKit can load entire scenes from .DAE files with the M:SceneKit.SCNScene.FromFile* method.
Developers can create geometry from a ModelIO mesh using FromMesh(MDLMesh).
Finally, developers can create custom geometry using the M:SceneKit.SCNGeometry.Create(SceneKit.SCNGeometrySource[], SceneKit.SCNGeometryElement[]* method with arrays of appropriate SCNGeometrySource and SCNGeometryElement objects. The following shows the creation of a custom pyramid:
//Lower-left
var a = new SCNVector3(-1, -1, 0);
//Upper-right
var b = new SCNVector3(1, 1, 0);
var halfX = (c.X + a.X) / 2;
var halfY = (c.Y + a.Y) / 2;
var halfZ = (c.Z + a.Z) / 2;
var b = new SCNVector3(a.X, c.Y, halfZ);
var d = new SCNVector3(c.X, a.Y, halfZ);
//Elevate the midpoint so that it's clearly a pyramid
var midPoint = new SCNVector3(halfX, halfY, halfZ + 1.0);
//The vertices of the geometry
var locs = new [] {
a, b, c, d, midPoint
};
var locSource = SCNGeometrySource.FromVertices(locs);
//Note that this relies on the ordering of locs above
//and it defines triangles (could be triangle strips, etc.)
var indices = new [] {
//Triangles are defined counter-clockwise!
4, 1, 0,
1, 4, 2,
2, 4, 3,
3, 4, 0
};
var idxArray = new byte[indices.Length][];
for(int i = 0; i < idxArray.Length; i++)
{
idxArray[i] = BitConverter.GetBytes(indices[i]);
}
var idxData = NSData.FromArray(idxArray.SelectMany(id => id).ToArray());
//Note that this relies on indices defining triangles
var element = SCNGeometryElement.FromData(idxData, SCNGeometryPrimitiveType.Triangles, indices.Length / 3, sizeof(int));
//Normals are relative to geometry
var normals = new [] {
new SCNVector3(0, 0, 1),
new SCNVector3(0, 0, 1),
new SCNVector3(0, 0, 1),
new SCNVector3(0, 0, 1),
new SCNVector3(0, 0, 1),
};;
var normSource = SCNGeometrySource.FromNormals(normals);
//These texture coords will cause the texture to wrap
var txCoords = new [] {
new CGPoint(-1, -1),
new CGPoint(-1, 1),
new CGPoint(1, 1),
new CGPoint(1, -1)
};
var txCoordsSource = SCNGeometrySource.FromTextureCoordinates(txCoords);
var geometry = SCNGeometry.Create(new [] { locSource, normSource, txCoordsSource }, new [] { element });
