Working with 3D Transformation

Adding Transformation to the Node

Apply transformations such as rotation, translation, and scaling to 3D nodes.

Concatenate Quaternions

Combine multiple rotation transformations into a single quaternion.

Simplify Creation of Transformation Matrix

Use the TransformBuilder class to simplify matrix creation through chain operations.

Working with 3D Meta Data

Add Asset Information to Scene

Add metadata information to the scene using Aspose.3D API.

Manipulate Custom Properties of a 3D Scene

Edit custom properties and metadata of a 3D scene programmatically.

Working with 3D Scene

Scene Graph

Manage the hierarchical structure of 3D objects within a scene.

Expose Geometric Transformation

Evaluate and expose the global geometric transformation of a scene.

Working with Scene Properties

Retrieve and manipulate properties of the 3D scene, such as its child nodes.

Working with 3D Animation

Add Animation Property

Set up keyframe animation for properties, such as position or rotation.

Setup Target Camera in 3D File

Ensure the camera or light source always faces a specified node during animation.

Working with 3D Objects

Merge Meshes in a 3D File

Combine multiple meshes from different nodes or scenes into a single valid mesh.

Create, Load, and Save 3D Scene Programmatically

Create, load, and save 3D scenes in various formats programmatically.

Working with 3D Modeling

Working with Cylinder

Customize various properties of 3D cylinders, such as the offset top or bottom, and create fan cylinders.

Working with Sphere Radius

Programmatically adjust the radius of a 3D sphere.

Working with 3D Rendering

Create Fisheye Lens Effect

Apply a fisheye lens effect to 3D scenes and save the output to supported image formats.

Working with 3D Web Renderer

Web-Based 3D Rendering

Render 3D scenes directly in web environments using the Aspose.3D Web Renderer.

Working with Textures

Apply Advanced Texture Mapping

Handle advanced texture mapping techniques, such as UV mapping, for 3D objects.

Watermark

Add Watermark to 3D Scene

Embed watermarks into 3D scenes using Aspose.3D, ensuring protection of intellectual property.

Get Started

Are you ready to give Aspose.3D for .NET a try? Simply execute Install-Package Aspose.3D from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio to fetch the NuGet package. If you already have Aspose.3D for .NET and want to upgrade the version, please execute Update-Package Aspose.3D to get the latest version.

Build a Scene with Primitive 3D Models using C# Code

You can execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.3D performs in your environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// initialize a Scene object
Scene scene = new Scene();
// create a Box model
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode("box", new Box());
// create a Cylinder model
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode("cylinder", new Cylinder());
// save drawing in FBX format
scene.Save(dir + "output.fbx", FileFormat.FBX7500ASCII);

Export 3D Scene to Compressed AMF via C# Code

Aspose.3D for .NET enables you to save 3D meshes in custom binary format, get all property values of 3D scenes as well as flip their coordinate system. The following example demonstrates the conversion of a 3D scene to AMF format while applying compression to it.

// load a scene
Scene scene = new Scene();
var box = new Box();
var tr = scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode(box).Transform;
tr.Scale = new Vector3(12, 12, 12);
tr.Translation = new Vector3(10, 0, 0);
tr = scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode(box).Transform;
// scale transform
tr.Scale = new Vector3(5, 5, 5);
// set Euler angles
tr.EulerAngles = new Vector3(50, 10, 0);
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode();
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode().CreateChildNode(box);
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode().CreateChildNode(box);
// save compressed AMF file
scene.Save(dir + "output.amf", new AMFSaveOptions() {
  EnableCompression = true
});
