How to Perform flip between two Pages by 3D Animation using WPF

I am trying to add flip animation between two UIElements(Image/Page).I am trying to do flipping affect on the UIElement Horizontally by keeping the UIElement at the fixed Place(I mean by staying at origin(0,0,0) position ).The issue that I am having the idea about 2D animation only and I did this task using 3D Animation but in 2D it seem...

Can controls rendered within a wpf Viewport3D using a VisualBrush fire their specific events?

Hi, I'm trying to render a Button on a GeometryModel3D by using a VisualBrush. Is there a way I can handle the button's click event directly? (or is it that the VisualBrush only renders the image of a button and I am supposed to use the VisualTree in order to check if the button was pressed? ) Thanks! ...

Shiva3D vs Unity 3D vs other 3d engine for iPhone hi-res 3d model viewer

I'm trying to port to the iPhone a realtime 3D visualization (be able to rotate and/or zoom in/out) of a 3d mesh with high-resolution textures (and hopefully materials, bump maps, shadows, and other degrees of realism). (The mesh itself has been optimized for lowpoly, but texture adds the details.) All I need is basically a model viewer...

Speeding up an IO bound OpenGL application

Hi guys, I've been working on a point cloud player lately that should be ideally able to visualize terrain data points from a lidar capture and display them sequentially at around 30fps. I, however, seem to have come to a wall resulting from PCI-e IO. What I need to do for every frame is load a large point cloud stored in memory, then...

OpenGL-OpenTK rotation problems

Hi there! I'm a real noob who just started learning 3d programming and i have a really hard time learning about rotation in 3D space. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to rotate an object using it's local coordinates. I have a basic class for 3d objects and, for starters, i want to implement functions that will rotate th...

How do I convert a mobile phone GPS to x,y,z with origin at the center of the Earth?

I need to accurately visualize points coming from iPhone (and other) GPS data in 3D. So, what I'd like is to take a WGS84 (right?) point and transform that into an X,Y,Z vector with the origin at the center of the Earth. I Googled for GPS/WGS84 to 3D but I think my search terms are not so great Does someone have a pointer for where to...

Calculation of the position of an object moving in a circular motion in 3D

i have an object that is doing a circular motion in a 3d space, the center or the circle is at x:0,y:0,z:0 the radius is a variable. i know where the object is on the circle (by its angle [lets call that ar] or by the distance it has moved). the circle can be tilted in all 3 directions, so i got three variables for angles, lets call them...

Good data structure for euclidean 3d data queries?

Hi guys, What's a good way to store point cloud data so that it's optimal for an application that will do one of these two queries? Nearest (i.e. lowest euclidean distance) data point to (x,y,z) Get all the points inside a sphere with radius R around a point (x,y,z) The structure will only be filled once, but read many times. A lowi...

how do obj files work once loaded.

Can anyone provide me with a high level over view of how obj or other 3d formats work. I'm trying to learn 3D programming for games but all the tutorials i've found so far only show how to create and manipulate primitives such as a sphere etc. I'm using java but i also know C# and C++ i've just never done games programming or any 3D mode...

Has anyone created a 3D website that works on a 3D monitor?

Hi, I stumbled upon this site http://www.swell3d.com/ and I think that in the future we will have a new hype word "3d website" that is used heavily in marketing. However, what I am interested in is how to create such designs/layouts? How is that funny-looking effect actually applied -- and are there any w3 specs describing ways to detec...

Where points OpenGL z-axis?

I'm trying to understand OpenGL coordinate system. Everywhere I see it's described as right-handed one, but it doesn't correspond with my experience. I tried to draw some shapes and 3-d objects and I see that apparently z-axis points "into the screen" (while x points to right, and y up - which is description of left-handed coordinate sys...

How to read individual '-webkit-transform' values in JavaScript?

Webkit's blog post from last year on 3D transforms explains the various transform 'functions' that can be used in the -webkit-transform property. For example: #myDiv { -webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotateY(7deg) translateZ(-1px); } My question: how do you access individual values in JavaScript? When you read the webkitTransform prop...

OpenGL ES tiled object (cube?), with clickable tiles

I'm starting study opengl, and im tring to make a 3d chess like, but i cant figureout, how i can know where i have clicked in the "table" to make the proper animations, any advice ? ...

3D pie graph in matplotlib

Is there a way to render a 3D pie in matplotlib? Or do you know at least a Python package that can generate 3D pies? EDIT: I actually already knew about pygooglechart, but I'm looking for something that can be done offline. My apologies for forgetting to include this information. For those who offered pygooglechart, thanks for the effor...

rectangular texture in OpenGL with both width and height POT

I'm trying to use rectangular texture with OpenGL. When the height is equal to the width of the texture, everything looks fine, however, when the height is different than the width the texture looks distorted. My display function is (h and w are globals storing the height and the width of the image): Please note that the size of the dr...

Limit camera pitch

How can I efficiently limit camera pitch when I have only camera quaternion? Do I have to convert to euler angles and then back to quaternion or is there any other way? ...

Simplified concave-hulls

Problem: Given: n points that are strongly correlated to a 3d k-sided non-convex polygon, where n >> k Find: the best fit concave-hull that matches the original geometry of the points Attempted solutions: Warning: pseudocode segments = [] for each point in image: #segment points into planes via comparing approximate normals ...

what is field sequential 3D?

What is field sequential in 3D? I've been scouring the internet but no luck. The only thing I got was this: Field-Sequential.  In the context of cinema-stereoscopy, the rapid alternation of left and right perspective views projected on the screen. But isn't this the same as frame sequential?? ...

True stereoscopic quad buffering in XNA.

Hello, We are trying to make 3D stereoscopy work within XNA for Windows PC Games using NVidia 3D Vision, we really have no idea how this would be achieved and are just now skimming through the XNA documentation, while we found some examples for anaglyph 3D, we were wondering if there was any way to make it work with the Active glasses ...

Is it possible to handle shockwave objects in flash?

Hi everyone, I want to know, Is there any way to handle or control the shockwave objects in flash by using 'as3'? I know this is possible in 'Director' by using 'Lingo'. But I am not able to find any way or any articles from where i can get some idea about this. In the director, I've seen there is way to set some properties like camera ...
