It is possible to export the 3D objects into the following file formats:
dae, x, stp, obj, obj, stl, stl, ply, ply, 3ds, gltf, glb, gltf, glb, assbin, assxml, x3d, fbx, fbx, 3mf. files

用於WPF和WinForms的DirectX 11 3D成像引擎

DXEngine 是一個非常快速的3D成像引擎，可以在 .Net 桌面應用程式中使用。

Ab3d.DXEngine採用超快速的多線程，可以充分利用顯卡提供終極的性能幾乎是相同的使用C ++時的成像技術。
引擎還支持高品質的視覺效果，包括每像素照明、PBR（physically based rendering）材質和陰影。
Ab3d.DXEngine是非常容易使用。您可以使用WPF 3D物件來定義3D場景、相機和燈光。
更重要的是，它與Ab3d.PowerToys library非常搭配，後者是一個終極的3D工具包，為您提供了創建3D應用程式的許多建構組元。

Main Ab3d.DXEngine features

• DirectX 11 based rendering engine with full hardware rendering support.
• Render millions of triangles with using instancing, smart optimizations and other techniques to get extreme GPU performance.
• Render millions of hardware accelerated 3D lines (with custom thickness, line color and line pattern).
• Multi-threaded rendering that can in some cases achieve more then 4 times the performance of a single thread.
• Super-fast per pixel lighting and super-sampling for improved visual quality.
• Support standard and PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials.
• Many post processing effects.
• The most versatile 3D engine - the same application can run on systems from high end graphics card (full hardware acceleration) to computers without graphics card (DirectX 11 software rendering). The same application can also run on an old computers with operating systems that do not support DirectX 11 (using WPF 3D rendering).
• The rendered 3D scene can be composed with existing WPF objects so that standard WPF controls can be added on top of the 3D scene or seen through the scene.
• Fully managed code that works with AnyCpu (x86 or x64) build targets and can be used in C# and VB.Net. DXEngine uses SharpDX as DirectX wrapper.
• Highly customizable: use custom shaders, rendering techniques, mesh data, etc.
• Support for virtual reality with split-screen and anaglyph rendering.
• Full Oculus Rift support is provided with Ab3d.OculusWrap library and DXEngine providers.
• Use new engine with just a few changes of the existing WPF 3D code. The engine fully supports Ab3d.PowerToys and Abd3.Reader3ds libraries.
• Great customer support by forum or email.

3D graphics for .Net
Learn more about the advantages of AB4D tools and get an overview of using the tools for 3D graphics.

The following products are available for 3D graphics:

Viewer3ds and Ab3d.Reader3ds

The most accurate 3ds file importer on the market.
Import 3D models from one of the most commonly used file format for 3D objects. Create 3D models in almost any 3D modeling application from free Blender to professional 3D Studio MAX, Maya and others. Or buy the models from many 3D libraries like Turbosquid.
 

2D graphics for .Net
Learn more about using AB4D tools to add awesome 2D graphics to .Net applications.

The following three products are available for 2D graphics:

ViewerSvg and Ab2d.ReaderSvg

The best svg reader for .Net to import vector drawings from svg files.
Show amazing vector graphics or use DPI independent vector drawings instead of bitmaps. Because svg is the most commonly used file format for storing 2D vector images, almost all vector drawing programs (Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Microsoft Visio, etc.) You can also get great svg content from maybe online clip-art libraries like Open Clip Art Library.
 

Paste2Xaml and Ab2d.ReaderWmf

Import metafiles and GDI+ graphics into .Net applications.
Read 2D vector graphics from Windows metafiles (wmf), Enhanced Metafiles (emf) or get GDI+ objects from clipboard - simply copy the drawing in almost any 2D drawing application (Microsoft Excel, Word, Autocad, etc.) and paste it into Paste2Xaml to get an XAML of the drawing.
 

ZoomPanel

The ultimate zoom control for .Net adds zooming and panning to your application.
Allows users to see on overview of the vector drawing and also to zoom in and check the details in any part of the drawing. The zoom controls can be fully customizable to provide functionality for almost any zooming and panning scenario.
