For doing programming in 3D on iPhone, either we use the OpenGLES or use existing 3D frameworks like Unity3D, Oblong engine etc. Here are 8 great resources that will help you get started in 3D and game development on iPhone.

So which 3d editor do 3D game developers use for the iPhone? If I were to ever work on a 3D game, I would love to know what 3D tool I should get familiar with.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, is this mic on? Is there anyone out there in iphonedevelopmentbits.com land?
Is asking about 3D editors a touchy topic? I have asked this question on another blog and was ignored too. Are we trying to keep a specific form of game development secret? No problem if we are. I seriously doubt I will ever write a 3D game. I know very little about 3D coding. I’m just curious about the tools that are used. Especially when it comes to such a low cost development environment as the iPhone/iPod touch.
As Sourcebits we currently use Unity3D and are quite happy with it.
I’ve written a tutorial on game physics with Chipmunk, it’s a 2D physics engine but it has uses in 3D games too and jumping from Chipmunk to Bullet is also easy.

Thanks Alex! for sharing.
Thanks guys. This stuff is sooooo over my head. I really doubt I’ll ever do any 3D stuff, but never say never… Right? :)
I’m still just trying to wrap my head around OpenGL for work with 2D games. Haven’t found much out on the internets about it, but I’m getting an idea from reading some of the 3D articles.
