I've built something Ive wanted for a long time. -- I got very tired of rendering 1 pixel wide lines in Metal.
This is GraphicsContext3D. It's basically SwiftUI's Canvas - but with 3D points instead of 2D. The geometry is converted to 3D meshes using Metal Object and Mesh shaders.
The API looks a lot like SwiftUI Canvas.
