Introduction to WPF 3D
3D Graphic Basics
The basic idea of creating 3D graphics is to have a three dimensional model of an object. Because our screen is only two dimensional, we define a camera that takes a picture of the object. The picture is a projection of the object to a planar surface. This projection is rendered into an bitmap by the 3D rendering engine. The engine determines the color for every pixel by calculating the amount of light that is reflected by any light sources to the projection surface by the objects in the 3D space.
All surfaces of objects have a material and a brush. The material defines how much light is reflected for a specific angle and the brush defines the color. A brush can either be a simple color or a gradient or even an image called texture.
A world of triangles
In the world of 3D graphics, all objects are described by a set of triangles. But why triangles? The reason for this is that a triangle is the most granular geometry to describe a planar surface. The rendering engine can calculate the color of each triangle depending on its material and angle to the lights in the scene. If we would build our world on rectangles, the points don't need to be plane. The surface will be a lot more complex to calculate and render.
A surface of a 3D object is called a mesh. A mesh is defined by a number of 3D points. These points are called vertices. The vertices are joined together by a winding pattern to define the triangles. Every triangle has a front and a back side. Only the front side is rendered. The front side is defined by the winding order of the points. WPF uses a counter clockwise winding pattern. You can remember this with a simple mnemonic called the "right hand rule". This means if you close your right hand to a thumb-up gesture, your finger make a counter clockwise move while the thumb shows up. The fingers show the winding order, while the thumb indicates the upper-side of the triangle.
A right handed coordinate system
WPF uses a right-handed coordinate system. This means that if you hold the fingers of your right hand as shown on the picture, the fingers indicate the positive direction of the tree axes.
Elements of a 3D scene
- Viewport3D
The viewport is the control that builds the gate between the 2D and the 3D world.
- Camera
Every 3D scene has excactly one camera. The camera defines the Position and the LookDirection and the UpDirection of the viewer. WPF supports orthographical and perspective cameras.
- 3D Models
A 3D model defines an object in the scene. It has a Geometry that is the mesh and a Material that can be a diffuse, specular or emmisive material. The material itself has a brush.
- Lights
Without any lights you see nothing. So we need to place at least one light in our scene to illuminate our models. WPF supports different kind of lights, like:
AmbientLightDirectionalLightPointLightSpotLight
Hello 3D-World - A Simple Cube
The following example shows how to create a basic cube mesh with 8 vertices that are wired up in 12 triangles that form the shape of the cube.
<Viewport3D>
<Viewport3D.Camera>
<PerspectiveCamera Position="-40,40,40" LookDirection="40,-40,-40 "
UpDirection="0,0,1" />
</Viewport3D.Camera>
<ModelVisual3D>
<ModelVisual3D.Content>
<Model3DGroup>
<DirectionalLight Color="White" Direction="-1,-1,-3" />
<GeometryModel3D>
<GeometryModel3D.Geometry>
<MeshGeometry3D Positions="0,0,0 10,0,0 10,10,0 0,10,0 0,0,10
10,0,10 10,10,10 0,10,10"
TriangleIndices="0 1 3 1 2 3 0 4 3 4 7 3 4 6 7 4 5 6
0 4 1 1 4 5 1 2 6 6 5 1 2 3 7 7 6 2"/>
</GeometryModel3D.Geometry>
<GeometryModel3D.Material>
<DiffuseMaterial Brush="Red"/>
</GeometryModel3D.Material>
</GeometryModel3D>
</Model3DGroup>
</ModelVisual3D.Content>
</ModelVisual3D>
</Viewport3D>

| This is the same kind of "informational article" I have seen on graphics programming with DirectX since I was doing vb6 and DirectX 8. The author gives us bland definitions that we can get from any of the 500 DirectX books out there then they "leave the scene". The simple fact is that creating a DirectX 3D app is still complicated and the author, like the rest of us, is still trying to figure it out. I'd check back for an updated example in 6mos. Even that example will probably be another generic example that can be obtained from reading any generic DirectX book. Lets get specific people!

@Vb Expert (visual Basic?)
Just in case: I like this site very much, because I got very straight and small examples. If I want to know more, I can read the *uckin* 500 manuals or maybe Foley / Van Dam ...
However, a simple approach how to recognize the main features of WPF is more adequate. Do you agree?

sorry , i think the " right-handed coordinate system" picture is wrong.
Increasing values of X are to the right; increasing values of Y are upward; increasing values of Z come out of the computer screen and toward the viewer. This is known as a right-hand coordinate system: If you point the forefinger of your right hand in the direction of increasing X values and the middle finger points to increasing Y values, your thumb points to increasing Z values.

| I think austin is right. In both coordinate systems (left-hand and right-hand) positive X is right, positive Y is upward. The diference is Z axis. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee415205%28VS.85%29.aspx for details.

| Yo soy aprendiz en WPF pero tengo un truco para crear un modelo tridimensional que sea algo complicado y con muy buena presentación, Primero crea el modelo en SolidWorks, Guardalo como .XAML, Después utilice Expression Blender y ahi lo agregue como recurso .XAML en la opción agregar elemento existente. El archivo generado ya cuenta con viewport, Camara, Lights y los 3dmodels para cada parte del ensamble de solid.

| It doesn't matter which way you hold your hand, and whether any axis ends up being up/down/in/out or what ever. The right hand concept is that going from pointer finger to middle figer to thumb represent x,y and z, and the image in this article conforms to this. The differnce lies in that in the the right hand system positive rotations occur anti-clockwise about an axis, for example, to rotate the X axis towards the Y, you would rotate about Z in a anti-clockwise direction with respect to the Z axis. In the left hand system a clockwise rotation about the Z axis would be required to rotate the X axis towards the Y.

@Dave - In the third comment in this article he links directly to the article he claims this is plagiarised from.
I disagree that it's plagiarised, I think this article better explains the absolute basics of what WPF 3D is, but that the kindohm tutorial is much better at explaining how to use WPF 3D.

i tried to create simple 2 buttons in Viewport3D, like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------
<Viewport3D Width="300" Height="300" >
<Viewport3D.Children>
<Viewport2DVisual3D>
<Viewport2DVisual3D.Geometry>
<MeshGeometry3D
Positions="-1,-1,0 1,-1,0 1,1,0 -1,1,0"
TextureCoordinates="0,1 1,1 1,0 0,0"
TriangleIndices="0,1,2 2,3,0"
/>
</Viewport2DVisual3D.Geometry>
<Viewport2DVisual3D.Material>
<DiffuseMaterial Viewport2DVisual3D.IsVisualHostMaterial="True" Brush="Red"/>
</Viewport2DVisual3D.Material>
<Canvas Height="300" Width="300">
<Button Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" Height="60" Width="60" Content="one" />
<Button Canvas.Left="65" Canvas.Top="60" Height="100" Width="40" Content="two" />
</Canvas>
</Viewport2DVisual3D>
<ModelVisual3D>
<ModelVisual3D.Content>
<SpotLight Color="White" Position="0,0,3" Direction="0,0,-1" Range="50"
OuterConeAngle="59" InnerConeAngle="0" />
</ModelVisual3D.Content>
</ModelVisual3D>
</Viewport3D.Children>
<!-- Camera. -->
<Viewport3D.Camera>
<PerspectiveCamera FarPlaneDistance="20"
LookDirection="0,0,-1"
UpDirection="0,1,1"
NearPlaneDistance="1"
Position="0,0,5"
FieldOfView="45"
/>
</Viewport3D.Camera>
</Viewport3D>
