How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
With its powerful 3D capabilities WPF provides a leap forward in user experiences; but how do you create compelling 3D models and then make them available to your applications? In this Channel 9 video, Microsoft UK’s Richard Godfrey interviews the developers
of Shaxam (www.shaxam.com) about their experiences and approach to building a Lightwave 3D to XAML convertor. Michael Stocking, Mark Hennessy-Barrett, Alex Young and Steve Kennett have all played a part in creating a friction-free
way of building impressive WPF applications using complex 3D geometries such as the human heart shown in this clip...

Regardless, this is good stuff.
I dont mean this to be rude, but America is not the only country that is developing cutting edge software that we are all interested in! Its nice to see what people and teams are developing all around the world.
Absolutely right.

It's just the most natural sculpting and building tool I've ever used.
It's nice to see it being used in a different way.
You're not being rude, and I agree with you. If you ask me, I think of some of the most amazing programmers I know of come from other countries (why, I dunno).
Keep in mind my closing comment on my initial post - "Regardless, this is good stuff" was essentially what I said.
I don't expect all great things to come from America, quite the contrary sometimes

I've repeatedly jumped into Maya over the past 6 years. Each time I spend about 6 months of creative-construction, and then lose interest. I can't seem to mimic my passion for programming with my desire to do 3d
Just thought I'd leave a quick note - I've just uploaded the first public build of our free XAML exporter plugin for LightWave Modeler 9. You'll find it at http://www.shaxam.com. It does what you see in the video, with the exception of not needing a round trip to the web server.
There are many more details in the README.txt that comes with the download - if you're using LightWave 9 and you're working with EID, you should check it out.
Thanks,
