Read the full description

Minted turns any SVG into a physically-lit 3D gold medallion for SwiftUI. Cloisonne enamel, engraved lettering, orange-peel backs, and momentum spins, all from generated geometry from your 2D paths, so your app ships zero model files. Hand it finished pin artwork and it traces the outline and renders gold as real metal, or build coins from paths directly. Six sample pins ship with the package. Swift 5.9+, iOS 17+, Swift Package Manager, MIT.

Could you build this?

Partial Tracing SVG paths into extruded geometry and building a UI layer is doable with AI help, but convincing physically lit gold, enamel, and engraving in SwiftUI needs real graphics and shader expertise that vibe coding handles poorly.

What it would actually take: The stack would be Swift with SwiftUI and Metal, plus a geometry pipeline that turns SVG paths into bevelled and extruded meshes with enamel and engraved regions. The hard part is physically based rendering: metallic reflectance, environment lighting, and momentum spin that look real on device and perform well. This needs someone with graphics programming experience who can debug shaders and mesh generation.
