You've heard all about the improvements and new features in WPF 3.5 SP1, now its time to see the new stuff. David Teitlebaum takes us on a tour of graphic applications that take advantage of the new and improved Effects, DirectX Interop, WriteableBitmap and more.

There is a bit of discussion in the beginning, so if you want to skip right to the demos jump to 05:45 in the video. I'm smitten.

Looking for more than graphics? Check out the WPF 3.5 SP1 Overview video.

Cool stuff! Smiley

Great to have this kind of conversation.

What are the performance drawbacks compared to using directly DirectX and C++? Do you guys have any numbers?

Love the demo's. Can't help thinking it will probably be compared to 'Compiz Fusion' by some. But this is really good, it aren't 'just effects', these are thing we can accually use !

Where can we download the demo's given and compile/run/render them ourselfs? I for one would love to see the performance of that on my pc.

Realy great work!

Adam, have you really recorded this at once? I mean the parts where we see you look so different from the lighting...

Is there source code available for these demos at all? I would love to try these things out and see the code for myself.

Very, very cool.

@littleguru, I used two cameras during the shoot and as you can tell they were not equal quality, but neither was the lighting so it was tricky. Once he started showing the demos I picked up the camera that was on me and shoot his screen while the other one was still on him.

I'll ask David about releasing the demos.

You guys really deliver! Bring this stuff to Silverlight and watch Adobe Flash go, well, back to the dashboard.

Maim that tune

Thats really cool stuff, I think I remember watching a c9 video awhile back about the trick used to get 3D hit detection to work, wasn't it like the 2D layer was essentially invisibly overlayed and moved perfectly to line up against the mouse with fancy maths..

That might of been the 'hack' to do it back then however..

The effects thing is also really slick as well..

Almost makes me sad to be a web dev now Tongue Out

.. so uh.. when will you guys deliver this power via sl? Wink
