Creating and rendering SceneKit nodes using pixel/point values?
I'm trying to use SceneKit to render some highly geometric and skeuomorphic UI elements. So far I've figured out how to use SCNView to render the scene, but I've run into two problems:
SceneKit geometry is measured in meters, which means having to do point conversion any time geometry is manipulated or created.
SCNViewseems to perform it's own scaling onSCNSceneit renders, without any clear API to disable or control that scaling. This makes it more difficult to map the geometry to the screen.
What techniques exist to create scenes in such a way that easily map to screen geometry?

I am not sure what exactly you want to accomplish. There are theprojectPointand theunprojectPointmethods to convert between screen coordinates and SceneKit units though.
