In other words, you need to create the shaders in Xcode and store them in the SceneKit (.scn) files. Hope that helps! ### 1/5 — Can't see the render *2023-09-16* The only way to see the object is to turn on the wire frame. I wish I could have learned this without spending the $10. Useless! ### 1/5 — Seems like Apple code *2021-01-07* This app really feels like it’s a sample code to open 3D files in SceneKit, the price is really really high for that ### 1/5 — Does not open my .scn file *2020-11-21* App does not seem to open my .scn file. Cant find any method to submit support request on support page. ## Frequently asked questions about [3D] Preview ### What 3D file formats does [3D] Preview support?
