Hello everyone! I have a small concern about one little thing when it comes to programming in metal. There are some models that I wish to use along with animations and skins on them, the file extension for them is called gltf. glTF has been used in a number of projects such as unity and unreal engine and godot and blender. I was wondering if metal supports this file extension or not. Anyone here knows the answer?

Hello everyone! Here with another graphics api question but slightly different. I'm currently looking at 2 SDK's for physics called PhysX and Bullet. The game asphalt 9 uses metal and bullet and I would like to do the same with asphalt 9. With metal 3 out and stable it seems, I would like to use one of these engines for my upcoming metal api rendering engine. Bur there's a catch, I wish to use objective-c or c++ for both the rendering engine and the physics engine as I mentioned above, but not me touching swift(its a good language but i wish to use c++ for game development). What do you guys say about this?

Hey all. I took a look at a video that caught my attention(https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10081) and wish to use this for my ios and iPad game. However, the language used here is swift, and want to use either objective-c or c++. Did anyone here used this method shown is this video but without swift?

Hello everyone! After some time to think about I proceed with graphics api, I figured opengl will be my first since I'm completely new to graphics programming. As in my last post you may find, I was speaking on moltenvk and might just use metal instead, along with the demos I found using metal. So for now, and I know this is said MANY TIMES, apple deprecated opengl but wish to use it because I'm new to graphics programming and want to develop an app(a rendering engine really) for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and macOS Ventura 13.2(I think this is the latest). So what do you guys think? Can I still use opengl es on the 14 max, along with opengl 4+ on latest macOS even though is deprecated?

Hello. Curios over here and wanted to ask a certain question. I'm currently doing some research on Metal API and came across some real good demos that uses Metal. However, I stumbled upon A product called MoltenVK. What I heard about this it uses Metal 2 and 3 for portability for vulkan to translate vulkan code to metal code(if this is even true). I wanted your guys opinion about this moltenvk that actually uses metal. Is apple ok with this even though it uses metal api? Let me know. any opinion is fine here
