I have 3D object in Maya which have joints for its movements, how can I access the object's joints in iPhone, Kindly guide me so that I can make it possible.
There is no iPhone API for this. You'll have to find a game engine that runs on iPhone and integrates with Maya.
Unity and SIO2 both run on iPhone and cite Maya support, and there are probably others. Whether said support includes inverse joint data, I don't know.
Actually, try asking on https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/. I only just found out about it.

Im trying to create a AR Game in Unity for educational project.
I want to create something like pokemon go: when the camera open the object will be fixed somewhere on the real world and you will have to search for it with the camera.
My problem is that ARCore and vuforia groundDetection (I dont want to use targets) are only limited for few types of phone and i tried to use kudan sdk but it didnt work.
Any one can give me a tool or a tutorial on how to do this? I just need ideas or someone to tell me where to start?
Thanks in advance.
The reason why plane detection is limited to only some phones at this time is partially because older/less powerful phones cannot handle the required computing power.
If you want to make an app that has the largest reach, Vuforia is probably the way to go. Personally, I am not a fan of Vuforia, and I would suggest you use ARCore (and/or ARKit for iOS).
Since this is an educational tool and not a game, are you sure Unity is the way to go? I am sure you may be able to do it in Unity, but choosing the right platform for a project is important - just keep that in mind. You could make a native app instead.
If you want to work with ARCore and Unity (which is a great choice in general), here is the first in a series of tutorials that can get you started as a total beginner.
Let me know if you have other questions :)
You can use GPS data from phone to display object when the user arrived specific place you can show the object. You can search GPS based Augmented Reality on google. You can check this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6djed8e4n0
I am working on iPhone racing car game development using cocos3d.In this how can I get detection of boundaries of road in road-map.I have done with load pod file for road-map.I also want to know about how can I implement physics for car accident.Is their any sample code of game from which I get some information or tutorial which I can follow?
If I were you, I use Unity. Check out their Car Tutorial that's what you need.
Good luck
There are very few examples and tutorials available for Cocos3D at the moment. Definitely nothing that fits your bill.
Your project sounds like a lot of pioneering you need to do. Particularly physics will be an issue, because both Box2D and Chipmunk are 2D physics engines. You'll need to find an iOS compatible, open source 3D physics engine. I like ODE, and I've heard good things about Newton too. I don't know if they're compatible with iOS though.
To add collision shapes to your POD files would also be a manual process requiring (self-made) tools or a lot of sweat.
I have a couple ideas for some 3D games/apps and need to know which 3D engine to go with. I like the high-level approach of Unity and UDK. I have done some 2D games using cocos2d before, but I'm entirely new to the 3D world, which is why i think Unity or UDK are a good choice. I know about the differences in licensing, and i am more concerned with the learning curve instead of the licensing cost.
Plans:
A 3D "side scroller" that goes forwards (up) instead of to the side. Third person space ship. This would primarily be for learning. Tilt to steer, tap to jump. Very simple graphics, vertex coloring would be enough.
A 2.5D "side scroller" like the above one but with a car. This game would generate the levels randomly out of a couple prefab blocks of a certain length that fit together seamlessly.
A 3D augmented reality display for pilots with a terrain mesh loaded from DEM data. Accelerometer and GPS access required.
Other important points:
Must be able to tie in to In-App purchases.
The more community content like tutorials and forums the better.
Ability to add third party libraries like Flurry Analytics is a big plus! But i guess this isn't possible?
Which engine would you recommend for these projects, and why? Preferably, i'd like to pick one and stick with it.
You’re going to have a way, way better time developing with Unity. UDK’s got a fantastic, incredibly capable engine, but its tools don’t have the ease-of-use of Unity’s, its developer documentation leaves a lot to be desired, and the community hasn’t been using it for long enough for there to be much help to be found there. Some quick Googling suggests you can write your own Objective-C plug-ins for Unity games, so in-app purchases and third-party libraries are definitely a possibility. I think Unity’s your best bet.
What about cryengine? it free for non commercial use and also provides mono c#.
Check it out CryEngine
Have looked so long for a library specialized in dealing with iPhone Accelerometer but couldn't find anything.
I have made some few sample apps, but none reaches a level of accuracy as in Labyrinth games for example, so any idea about a library for that? Or maybe an open source app?
Would be better if it's integrated in a Physics library
UPDATE: I didn't mention it, but i don't want to use game engines. Specially now, that their future is still unknown. ObjC libraries or tutorials would be better.
I highly recommend looking at tweejump. It's basically an open source version of games like Doodle Jump. It really helped me learn how to use the accelerometer to control an object on the screen.
Although you said you didn't want any game engines, this is powered by the Cocos2D library. However, Cocos2D is written in Objective-C, so there shouldn't be any issue getting anything powered by Cocos2D passed Apple.
Best of luck!
It seems that it may just be easier for you to use a game engine that works with iPhone if you are looking to make a game. Here are 2 engines that export to iPhone GameSalad or Unity 3D
I have an idea for a 3d game for the iPhone and I'm wanting to get a feel for what is used mostly for iPhone 3d game programming. Are 3d games being developed in opengl es only or are 3d models being used as well?
I'm just trying to get an idea of some of the technologies being used for iPhone 3d game programming.
For instance, I think the following game will be really cool and would like to know what is being used to create it.

Also, are people using any 3d modeling tools like maya, 3ds max, or blender with this 3d game engines?
There's a good overview on this blog, but it may be a bit out of date.
Unity is a popular 3d engine that supports iPhone
SIO2 is an open source 3D engine for iPhone development.
There are lots of different ways to make 3D games. As the two above answers, you can use things like Unity and SI02. However, the vast, vast majority of games are developed with OpenGL, mainly because there's already so much existing material on game development with OpenGL. If the game's not too graphically intense, you can even try using core animation -- but don't expect the same performance as other things.
