Prism

A lightweight 3D renderer for SwiftUI.

• Works with any SwiftUI View.
• Fully interactive and animatable.
• Compatible with all SwiftUI modifiers.
• No positioning side effects, unlike GeometryReader.
• 100% SwiftUI — no SceneKit, SpriteKit, etc.
• Powered by perspective transforms, so it’s fast.
• Supports sizing, extrusion, levitation, and more.
• Compose complex scenes with a familiar API.

Installation

Requires iOS 13+ or macOS Catalina and up. Prism can be installed through the Swift Package Manager.

Usage

Prism is designed to be easy to use. First, define a PrismConfiguration for customization. Then add a PrismCanvas, which can contain as many PrismViews as you’d like.

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var configuration = PrismConfiguration(
        tilt: 0.5, /// A value from 0 to 1, representing the perspective.
        size: CGSize(width: 200, height: 200), /// How big the prism is.
        extrusion: 100, /// The z height.
        levitation: 20, /// How far the prism is from the ground.
        shadowColor: Color.black, /// A dynamic shadow that's rendered underneath the prism.
        shadowOpacity: 0.25 /// The strength of the shadow.
    )

    var body: some View {
        PrismCanvas(tilt: configuration.tilt) {
            PrismView(configuration: configuration) {
                Color.blue
            } left: {
                Color.red
            } right: {
                Color.green
            }
        }
    }
}

Apps Using Prism

SwiftUICraft is Minecraft but made with Prism. You can move, add blocks, add water, switch worlds, and more. Thanks to Prism it’s 100% SwiftUI with literally nothing else!
