viewport3d

Is there a secret trick to force antialiasing inside Viewport3D in Windows XP?

Under Windows XP WPF true 3D content (wich is usually displayed using the Viewport3D control) looks extremely ugly because it is by default not antialiased as the rest of the WPF graphics are. Especially at lower resolution the experience is so bad that it can not be used in production code. I have managed to force antialiasing on some ...

WPF 3D - Detirmine whether a ModelVisual3D is being clipped inside it's Viewport3D

I have a cube rendering inside a Viewport3D and i need to know a way to find out whether ALL of the cube is visible to the user.

I have a Viewport3D with user controls in it. Each of the user controls are a Viewport2DVisual3D control with the Visual set to the user control.

Adding a child to Viewport3D asynchronously gives "This API was accessed with arguments from the wrong context."

When I try to add 3D-content to a Viewport3D, asynchronously, this results in "This API was accessed with arguments from the wrong context." in a TargetInvocationException.

Problems with 3D WPF

Hi, I started to learn some 3D in WPF today and I copied some simple examples (planes) into my XAML, and they all worked.

I do not know what I am doing wrong, and I also already sketched the (really simple) 3D scene to verify my da...

Performance problem when applying a RenderTransform to a Viewport3d in WPF

I have implemented zooming and panning in my WPF app using a RenderTranform combining scaling and translations. Everything is peachy with bitmaps, text, graphic paths, shapes and more. As soon as I put a viewport3d in the visual tree and I zoom into the picture, performance drops to terrible (non-interactive!) levels. Any suggestions...

I have a 3D Modell of a house, where the roof is invisible so that the rooms can be seen (like here) But (for now) I have no textures and each surface has the same color, e.g., var myMaterial = new DiffuseMaterial (new SolidColorBrush(myColor)) If I view it in a WPF Viewport3D, I want to be able to differentiate between the surfaces....
