SceneKit error loading skinned character

Question

Whenever I try to load a scene with a skinned character I get an error:

SceneKit: error, Library Deserialization: cannot finalize the deserialization of <C3DSkin ...>

The code generating the error:

let heroScene = SCNScene(named: "art.scnassets/hero.scn")!

This includes any .dae character file I download from the internet, as well as the hero character from Apple's WWDC slideshow.

Answer 1

This seems to be a bug with Xcode 8. I filed a bug report with Apple which is now marked as a duplicate of another "open" report. So I hope Apple's going to fix this with the next Xcode update.

EDIT: This bug has been fixed in Xcode 8.2 beta.
