Idea

An API just like the UI module except for https://developer.apple.com/reference/scenekit Also https://developer.apple.com/reference/modelio

Implementation

Have object class that has...

all the primitive shapes (cube, cone, ect.)
Model IO objects

Handling

Objects are treated like UI views with one layer of depth (you can't have an object within an object)

Physics

If possible physics would be an option as well

Reasoning

Being able to work with 3D objects would be awesome.

Needs

Has to be a separate framework that has to be explicitly loaded to minimize impact.

There was a sk module for a while in one of the betas. It was taken out because it was buggy somehow. Don't remember details. This would indeed be useful, though.

@omz isn't this covered with scene? I don't use SceneKit, but this issue is kind of broad. Would close it and specific requests can be filled per issue if something is missing / doesn't work.

@zrzka No, SceneKit is a 3D API, while Pythonista's scene module (named before SceneKit existed on iOS) is 2D-only, and more similar to SpriteKit.
