@matt1corey I've had a lot of success with transform3DEffect, which was also recommended to me by people in the know https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/transform3deffect(_:)

@daniel I played around briefly with this, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on my Path views - will definitely revisit it

@matt1corey here's how I used it https://github.com/TelemetryDeck/TelemetryViewer/blob/feature/cluster/Cluster/ChartsExperiment.swift#L45

@daniel So are you using it to add the curve to those panels? What I’m looking for is to lift the Shape object off the window (which I can do), but also to provide a depth to them. So they would stick out from the window, but still be anchored to them in the back.

I actually assumed that I’d be able to provide a ‘lineDepth’ to the StrokeStyle I’m using to draw my shapes, but it does not exist. I can only assume that this would be far more complex in 3D than I expect.

@matt1corey ooh I get it now! Yeah I'm just moving and rotating the panels, not actually extruding them. I don't know if that's actually possible

@daniel Got it - thanks. I can get some ok results with a z-index offset and a shadow, but it’s still a 2D shape - not really what I had in mind (and for some reason, applying a shadow to the base of the bulb draws a huge rectangular shadow 🤷‍♂️). I also don’t think this shadow reacts to the lighting, which actually makes some sense.

Maybe SceneKit is the way to go? Will look there next

@matt1corey ooh bit I like it already
