As pointed out by @helge, it would be useful if RealityKit provided an API that extrudes a CGPath to create a 3D model. That would provide a low barrier for apps that do custom rendering with CGPath to endeavor into 3D. I already have a compelling use case for this where I’d like to extrude a graph.
Part of me has an itch to see if I can implement such a converter myself, but another part of me knows that I have way too little experience with 3D to do this well 😄
@stroughtonsmith@helge This is wonderful! I’d love this for RealityKit so it’s better suited for visionOS. I haven’t tested it, but I’m guessing exporting to USDZ is too slow to be used for dynamically rendering content into RealityKit.
I’m about to try this with a vector tool + Blender to make some new “picture frame” blank meshes.
I do wish there were simpler ways to run-time transform a mesh, though. There’s just so much complexity involved, so I can understand the need for the rigging process.
