WPF 3D rendering
-
I have started on a project that involves using loading resources on the new glTF format. Namely it from NASAs 3D models of the Solar system: Sun 3D Model | NASA Solar System Exploration[^] The glTF format seems to be easy to load using the glTFLoader that can be downloaded from github. The file itself is just a mix of some header info, a JSON part, and a Binary data part that is pretty well described in the documentation. glTF-Tutorials/gltfTutorial_002_BasicGltfStructure.md at master · KhronosGroup/glTF-Tutorials · GitHub[^] But it is not working exactly. First issue is that the images are loaded, but the texture coordinates seems to be wrong. I have asked this question over at the site that monitors the standard. Load glTF into WPF 3D with a simple viewer - glTF - Khronos Forums[^]. The second issue, which I hope some of you might help me with, is that the diffuse material does not seem to register correctly. So I have to set this via a name property on the diffuse material itself. Then it loads. Any ideas on why that is?

I figured it out anyways. :)

(... stumble stumble ...) Ran across this idea this morning: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/wpf+3d[^]. Nothing to see here. Move along then.
Nah, I came across an article that solved everything for me: Introduction to glTF for WPF 3D[^]
