Behind the PDC 3D Video - A How-To

Larry Larsen — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:40:00 GMT

As promised I give you a quick walk-through of how we did the PDC Countdown video in 3D. Hardware used included a pair of Flip Ultra HD cameras, a bracket and connector, and an affordable little tripod -- Total cost: $340. The software I use is Stereo Movie Maker, which is freeware and can be downloaded here.

Let us know if you'd like to see more content in 3D (probably in addition to 2D video rather than instead of). And post a link in the coffeehouse if you end up doing some of your own.

Countdown to PDC09: Developers Go 3D!

Larry Larsen — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:37:00 GMT

Watch out James Cameron, the PDC team has done their first ever show in 3D, and that’s because we’ve got the width, the depth, and the length. And how do we have those? Well, check out the dozens of new sessions just announced (with tons more content still to come), that include SQL, WCF, Silverlight, and lots of goodness on Azure including a session on how Azure has changed since Microsoft first described it. But don’t feel left out! You can give a community talk at the PDC via our Birds of a Feather sessions. Check out the PDC09 BOF site that includes instructions on how you can submit a session for consideration. Now go get your 3D on, and don’t forget, the red lens goes over the left eye, and the blue one over the right eye!

PS: This works best in highest quality (so, choose WMV(High) from the Formats dropdown under the inline player)

Silverlight PlaneProjection (perspective transform) tutorial

Adam Kinney — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:11:00 GMT

Jaime Rodriguez has written a great tutorial on PlaneProjection in Silverlight 3. Jaime explains how to relate common 3D concepts to PlaneProjection in Silverlight. You can see the transforms in action by playing around with parameters on his Sandbox page. Or you can download the sample app source code and jump right in.

A Motion Capture Viewer written in Silverlight

Adam Kinney — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:49:00 GMT

Nikola, previously on showing his Shock game, is back with a new interesting project, a Motion Capture Viewer written in Silverlight. Along with entertaining us with dancing stick figures, Nikola is also sharing the code, what he's learned and a primer on Motion Capture. Real 3D in action!

Integrating 3D into Expression Blend with ZAM 3D Tutorial

Adam Kinney — Wed, 27 May 2009 00:10:00 GMT

Nick Petterssen from Electric Rain demonstrates how to use ZAM 3D with Blend to create true 3D content for WPF. Once the 3D object is then added to the scene he shows how to animate it using the familiar Storyboard objects used for animating 2D objects.

Druckbetankung - Die Show :: Silverlight 3 Teil VI

Jan Schenk — Mon, 18 May 2009 08:42:00 GMT

In Teil fünf der Staffel Silverlight 3 aus der Serie "Druckbetankung - Die Show" dreht sich alles um die Plane Projection, die 3D-Projektion in Silverlight 3. Diese Projektion lässt sich sowohl in Expression Blend 3 verändern, als auch an Eingabefelder, beispielsweise Slider, binden und so in der Anwendung selber interaktiv verändern. Oliver Scheer und ich programmieren uns explorativ durch die Möglichkeiten der 3D-Projektion.

TCSWeekly 002 - Obama, Silverlight 3, 3D Models and Virtual Earth

Adam Kinney — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:05:00 GMT

The biggest news from last week in the Microsoft Client World is tied to the biggest news of January, possibly of the year 2009. If you haven't already heard it echoed on twitter and blogs, last week the Presidential Inauguration Committee announced the event will be streamed in Silverlight. If you missed the ceremony you're in luck, they will also be making the video available on demand in the future.

Creating 3D Models for WPF Pt4 - Smooth texture to WPF application

Mike Ormond — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:33:00 GMT

3D has traditionally been complex and challenging but with the advent of WPF, incorporating 3D into your applications is much more realistic. These 4 videos walk through the process of building a very simple 3D application.

I start by creating a re-usable 3D model of a yoghurt pot in Blender with textured surfaces representing interchangeable product artwork. This model is then imported into a WPF application via Expression Blend. I add some animation and user interaction via the 3D tools library on CodePlex and show how easy it is to switch the imagery to represent different products.

For an idea of what the final application looks like, visit my blog post or click here for the xbap.

Dynamic 3D Charts with Telerik

Adam Kinney — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:16:00 GMT

Vladimir Milev and Todd Anglin show us the new Charting and Gauge controls from Telerik. The Charts are very flexible and run in 2D and 3D mode, you can even use your own custom models for the 3D Charts.

The Gauges shown in the video are also now available in Silverlight. Same API for both WPF and Silverlight versions, which should definitely make the life of the developer easier when using them.

3D View Controls for WPF

Adam Kinney — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 04:54:00 GMT

3D functionality is becoming a more popular component in UI technologies and has been greatly improved in WPF 3.5 SP1. Upon hearing this some people (Niners even) are known to question "what is it good for?" My first answer is that the British Turning Pages application just wouldn't be the same without 3D.

Marc Laroche stopped by to talk about another use of 3D in one of Xceed's new controls 3D Views for WPF. Watching Marc move the camera to adjust the display of the data (around 5:25) can give you an idea of where 3D can really be useful. Simply adjusting the position of the camera offers a new perspective rendered dynamically. There is no need to pre-render all of the desired views.

This is great stuff but it feels like just the beginning. The more accessible we can make 3D, the more we can become creative and effective with it.

WPF 3.5 SP1 Graphics with David Teitlebaum

Adam Kinney — Tue, 13 May 2008 01:48:00 GMT

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? Dr. Sneath speaks with Kevin Gjerstad about new improvements and features in WPF 3.5 Service Pack 1. Topics of the conversation range from Deployment, Application Model and Lawson "Mango" and Yahoo Messenger.

Not only does this video provide you with a great overview of WPF 3.5 SP1, but it is kicking off Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (Beta)

.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Beta)

Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions SP1 (Beta)

Abolade Gbadegesin: Live Mesh Architecture

Dan Fernandez — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:58:56 GMT

Live Mesh integrates a smart client with a services cloud to make your files, devices and social mesh available wherever you are. Developing it required solving two of the hardest problems around – building scalable and cost-efficient services, and developing a robust synch model with a local client API. We sat down with architect Abolade Gbadegesin to hear what approach he took to designing Live Mesh.

Florence Hu-Aubigny: Dassault Systemes and Democratizing 3D

Charles — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 21:40:53 GMT

In this episode of Inside Out we chat with Dassault Systemes' Vice President and Director of Architecture Florence Hu-Aubigny. Dassault Systemes is a global leader in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) Solutions utilizing 3D representation with approximately 6700 employees in 27 countries.

The Boeing 787 was completely designed in a virtual 3D PLM environment using Dassault's technology, which is capable of transforming very large complex data sets into extremely accurate and interactive 3D simulations.

One of Dassault's missions is to democratize 3D visualaztion. This means, they have a platform that doesn't require users to be rocket scientists to develop accurate 3D representations of data to be used for a number of purposes.

Florence is an engineer. Even as VP she still writes code and helps out on the hardest of bugs. Very cool!
