I wanted to play around with some 3D controls in WPF, but was mildly surprised to find that there were no primitive solid controls in WPF – I just wanted to plop a few spheres and cubes in a scene, but didn’t realize I had to render them using meshes.

Surely someone has created libraries of 3d primitives that can be added to WPF 3D scenes by now. Are any of these libraries free?

How about modeling tools? I know there are a few free modeling applications (like Blender), but is there a way to export models from these and include them in a WPF application?

Thanks!

  1. Charles Petzold has written a library of basic 3D shapes for WPF that you can find here : http://www.charlespetzold.com/3D/

    Admittedly, is comes with a weird license, but all in all it’s rather cheap and you get a free book, which I recommend by the way 😉
