Fireworks to XAML Panel

Adam Kinney — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:50:00 GMT

Grant Hinkson, the Director of Experience Design at Infragistics, is a big fan of the creative tool from Adobe called Fireworks. An issue, or some people may say an opportunity, arose 3 years ago when he started to work on WPF projects. How can he use his favorite design tool with this new technology? Resourcefully, he ended up writing his own Panel for Fireworks that solved the problem.

The Fireworks to XAML Panel has since been updated to work with both WPF and Silverlight and is available for free for you to use.

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.
