Following this thread I'm able to render a simple picture in a Plane material, however, I'm unable to scale it to show bigger than the window itself, or move it behind the window.

Here's my relevant code so far.-

var body: some View {
    ZStack {
        RealityView { content in
                    
            var material = UnlitMaterial()
            material.color = try! .init(tint: .white,
                                     texture: .init(.load(named: "image",
                                                             in: nil)))
        
            let entity = Entity()
            let component = ModelComponent(
                mesh: .generatePlane(width: 1, height: 1),
                materials: [material]
            )
            entity.components.set(component)  
          
            let currentTransform = entity.transform
            var newTransform = Transform(scale: currentTransform.scale,
                                         rotation: currentTransform.rotation,
                                         translation: SIMD3(0, 0, -0.2))
            entity.move(to: newTransform, relativeTo: nil)
            
/*                
            let scalingPivot = Entity()
            scalingPivot.position.y = entity.visualBounds(relativeTo: nil).center.y
            scalingPivot.addChild(entity)
            content.add(scalingPivot)          
            scalingPivot.scale *= .init(x: 1, y: 1, z: 1)
*/             
        }
    }
}

It belongs to an ImmersiveSpace I'm opening directly from my main window, but I have several issues:

The texture shows always in front of the window
I'm unable to scale it (scaling seems to affect to the texture coordinates inside the material instead of scaling the mesh itself)
I can only see the texture in the canvas preview (not in simulator)

I have exactly the same question. If I use Model3D it will be rendered "On" the window, but if I use RealityView it is rendered between camera and window. If I want to integrate my elements into the view, it is not possible. Moving Objects Positions is also not possible. So how am I supposed to render 3D content to a swiftUI Window but still have access to change materials (e.g. to show materials in different colors) ?
