HelloMetal

A Suite of 7 minimal Metal apps written in Swift 4.2. Highlights include:

• Multi-pass rendering
• Model I/O
• SceneKit
• OpenEXR
• Arcball (Gestural rotation widget based on Quaternions)
• A simple API layer that abstracts to

HelloMetal is my attempt to write Metal apps in idomatic Swift. My goal is a suite of clear and approachable apps each illustrating a different aspect of Metal. Each app is a single view app. A model is rendered that can be rotated using a finger gesture.
