See `Scene Loading Options` for available keys and values. Pass `nil` to use default options. ## Return Value A new, initialized scene source object, or `nil` if initialization was not successful. ## Discussion If you have the contents of a scene file but not the file itself (for example, if your app downloads scene files from the network), use the [`sceneSourceWithData:options:`](/documentation/SceneKit/SCNSceneSource/sceneSourceWithData:options:) method instead. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
