Manages SceneKit 3D scenes, maintains legacy Apple graphics code, and facilitates migration to RealityKit.
This skill provides specialized guidance for working with Apple's SceneKit framework across iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. It assists developers in maintaining existing scene graphs, configuring PBR materials, and debugging physics or animations while providing a clear decision tree for migrating legacy 3D projects to RealityKit. Ideal for developers handling enterprise or legacy apps that haven't yet moved to modern frameworks, it bridges the gap between traditional node-based 3D development and modern Entity-Component-System architectures.
