R – Load 3D object in Silverlight 3/4

3d3dsmaxsilverlight

Is is possible to load 3D objects in a Silverlight 3 or Silverlight 4 application? (3DS Max objects or other formats). Besides loading the object I also need some basic interaction – simple rotations, zoom in/out.

I think the managed 3D engine Balder might be the right choice for you. It runs quite good in Silverlight and I've used it with Silverlight 3 and 4b. Balder supports the ASE format at the moment, but Einar and his contributors are working hard on the engine and they want to support more mesh formats in the future.

R – Deep Zoom Rotation

Yes you can - just apply a RotationTransform to the MultiScaleImage or one of its parents. One caveat is that if you use mouse panning navigation you will need to adjust your code to account for the transformation.

R – Silverlight – Load Image with FileStream

This should work. I actually put something like this in an attached property so I can decorate images in xaml with our image identifier. The attached property also does some caching of images in the local application store.

var image = d as Image;
if(image != null)
{
    var bitMap = new BitmapImage();
    byte[] buffer = new byte[e.Result.Length];
    e.Result.Read(buffer, 0, (int) e.Result.Length);
    var stream = new MemoryStream(buffer);
    bitMap.SetSource(stream);
    image.Source = bitMap;
}

Cheers!
