I’m researching which engine/sdk I should use for 3D iOS development in C++
Although there have been questions like this, I haven’t found the best solution for my requirements so I’m looking forward to hear your experiences.

Unity and UDK are not what I’m looking for, due to lack of control.
Shiva3D looks interesting but don’t need the extra editor
ninevehgl no skinned models and no C++
Marmalade perfect but multi-platform not required

requirements:

licensed or open source, preferably licensed which means a more extended sdk/engine
iOS iPhone/iPad, multi platform with android not preferred.
fast loading of both rigid and skinned/rigged 3d models
C++

My current choice would be Marmalade which I have been testing for a while now but I’ve had some issues where results differ from device to device so that’s why i prefer an iOS only option. And most games I see using Marmalade are just using it to port an existing iOS app to android and not publishing to iOS.
