Wikipedia says that interoperability is “a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate)”. Regarding software, it says that interoperability is “the capability of different programs to exchange data via a common set of exchange formats”. This has always been a problem, specially when talking about software that manages 3D or 2D information, due to the volume and diversity of the information to be exchanged.... |

Based on the original Euler Rotation article, it’s time to revisit the 3D graphics GDI+ world. In the last article, we discussed the fundamentals for drawing a simple cube shape on a two-dimensional bitmap surface. Now, it’s time to take it up a notch. We are going to draw a cube with shaded sides, and we are going to find a way around the pesky Gimbal Lock problem.... |

Currently, l am in Virginia. Cramped up in this tiny nom with my old laptop. I only dare to install Windows 98 on it - which means I only had the .Net Framework to work with. A week ago at work, I noticed my 3D Pie Chart had been published I soon ventured out to see how difficult it would be to do a 3D bar chart. I did some test projects which are available above. I took an old VS.NET project and stripped it down so I could easily use it as a template. The projects' images or charts looked sweet... |

Finally, the long awaited Part III of the custom Direct3D framework and 3D tutorial, encapsulated in class CXD3D. In Part I we covered some 3D concepts, some Direct3D architecture and the enumeration object; you'll also find the demo project there. In Part II we covered the selection of 3D settings from the enumeration objects and the rendering loop. In this issue, we'll cover coordinate spaces and transformations from one to another, along with the actual geometrical data placeholders or buffer... |

This article describes how to detect the collision between two moving (2D) polygons. It's not the first tutorial on the topic, however, the tutorials on the net tend to be a bit too complex for a relatively simple problem. The source codes I could find also had too many abbreviations that I don't get, or were crippled with C optimizations. So here, I'll try to keep it as simple as possible. In any case, it should be possible to include the functions presented here to your C# projects quite strai... |

Geo-referenced images are regular map images, aerial photos, or satellite imagery with geographic referencing information embedded within them or contained within an external file. They are used for a variety of purposes, such as planning, navigation, and so forth. A common format for geo-images is GeoTIFF. GeoTIFF images are just regular TIFF (tagged image file format) images with some additional tags embedded within the file. There are other geo-image formats: Sometimes, JPEG images come with ... |

This example shows how to scale a 3-D object. To scale a 3-D object, use a ScaleTransform3D. The ScaleX, ScaleY, and ScaleZ properties resize the element by the factor you specify. For example, a ScaleX value of 1.5 stretches an object to 150 percent of its original width. A ScaleY value of 0.5 shrinks the height of an object by 50 percent. The code below shows using a ScaleTransform3D as the transform for a GeometryModel3D.... |

This example shows how to create a 3-D object that looks like a flat sheet of paper which has been rotated. A Viewport3D along with the following components are used to create this simple 3-D scene:
*A camera is created using a PerspectiveCamera. The camera specifies what part of the 3-D scene is viewable.
*A mesh is created to specify the shape of 3-D object (sheet of paper) using the Geometry property of GeometryModel3D.
*A material is specified to be displayed on the surfa... |
