Hi,

what is the recommended way in avalonia to draw simple 3d shapes? it shoudl work on Win, Mac and Android.
For WPF i used the Helix toolkit, im sure avalonia has something better built in

Maybe OpenGL control? Check out the ControlCatalog in source code if it suits your needs

OpenGL is not officially supported on modern Mac hardware. You are meant to use Metal. If you need something actually crossplatform you can use Vulkan instead. But that wont work on Mac without something like MoltenVK.

As per usual, Apple is the main bottleneck to cross platform portability.
