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)
One of the really cool features of WPF is being able to take any 2D user interface and easily place it on a 3D surface. The most common request after doing this is then having the ability to interact with this 2D content on the 3D object.
V1 of WPF doesn’t have this feature built in, but with some extra code, this feature can be built on top of the product. In this video, WPF 3D developers Kurt Berglund and Daniel Lehenbauer show a demo application that makes use of the Flickr API to build a rich 3D photo application with 2D on 3D content. Of course, they also give a live coding example of how to incorporate 2D on 3D in to your own apps, and describe how it all works behind the scenes.
All of the code to do everything you see in this video yourself is available today at the 3DTools Codeplex site

Note: The download file is BIG... We'll try to get a smaller one up soon.

This is such a really cool hack!! I love it. Absolutely brilliant way to take advantage of the 2D environment to build 3D UI's!
wow
Thanks, very interesting and entertaining information!
This won't happen again. We will offer multiple res files in our next site release. Sorry about this.

Very right in saying designers have been after this feature for quite some time, the ability of applying interactive elements mapped (even if only appearing to be) onto 3d object surfaces, opens a wide array of possibility's. Hardware technology such as shades would most likely enhance this feature as the ability to apply hi-quality material elements such as smoke, particles and reflections would widen the possibility's even more.
IMHO, please do continue to post HD videos.
