Question

I would like to know if WPF support 3D Volumetric Effects like “spotlight (sort of smoke effect like in nightclub)”

Typically, I would like to set a brush (sort of mask or filter : color + shape ) and see “light ray” from light source to any obstacle..

i’m not sure wpf can handle that, if it doesn’t what’s the best software to do that, it should be real time and get parameter from a C# application

if it does, have you any example ?

Thanks

This is normally handled as “fog”. OpenGL and DirectX support it, but WPF doesn’t. You can do it on your own if you want to badly enough, but IMO, it’s not a good idea — if that’s what you want, WPF really isn’t the right tool for this job.
