How did I self-learn iOS 11, Swift 4, and Metal2 API, ARKit and made a prototype in 2Weeks.
It’s hard to learn new stuff, but things get easier when you have small wins continuously by actually code different small apps.
I highly recommend this course that I already bought from udemy for two weeks ago, which I have no commission for recommending this course.
https://www.udemy.com/ios-11-app-development-bootcamp/
It has iOS11, Swift 4 and ARKit, and a lot of other goodies like marketing and design.
The way I learned metal is by coding small stuff at the beginning.
First I get to know what is really going on with the system architecture.
And then I go learn about this tutorial on Metal and Swift3
And then I try with GPU Compute
So that i can use GPU to calculate 1024 * 16 particles’s position
and then i render the particles.
Be aware that the articles may have old APIs, that you can try to google it and update to latest API.
Finally, i combine all the code with the Default ARKit XCode Project with Metal as Content technology and then i finally made it.
The Augmented reality APP with Firework and Particle Gravity Simulation on GPU and Metal Rendering APIs.
yayyy Thanks a lot for reading…
Much love,
