load a collada (dae) file into SCNNode (Swift - SceneKit)

Question

This works

let scene = SCNScene(named: \"house.dae\")

Is there an equivalent for a node?

let node = SCNNode(geometry: SCNGe         


        

Answer 1

That's what I use in real project:

extension SCNNode {

    convenience init(named name: String) {
        self.init()

        guard let scene = SCNScene(named: name) else {
            return
        }

        for childNode in scene.rootNode.childNodes {
            addChildNode(childNode)
        }
    }

}

After that you can call:

let node = SCNNode(named: "art.scnassets/house.dae")
