Advantages of using Ab3d.PowerToys for Desktop .Net applications:

• The easiest to use 3D API with many great code samples. You can create amazing 3D content just after one day of using our tools.
• Simplified development with Visual Studio and design time support - the 3D scene can be previewed in the design window.
• Simplified usage of cameras with mouse, touch and multi-touch camera rotation and movement.
• Many basic 3D models (Sphere, Box, Cylinder, etc.) with advanced extruded and lathe 3D objects.
• The best implementation of 3D lines and 3D text (connected, disconnected and lines with arrows).
• Simplified mouse event handling on 3D objects (subscribe to MouseOver, Click and similar events).
• Import 3D models from obj files or from almost all other 3D files with Assimp importer (see below).
• Export 3D models to many file formats (see below).
• Fully optimized to achieve best possible performance.
• Active development with adding many features based on user requests.

3D objects can be imported from the following file formats: .3d, .3ds, .3mf, .ac, .ac3d, .acc, .amf, .ase, .ask, .assbin, .b3d, .blend, .bvh, .cob, .csm, .dae, .dxf, .enff, .fbx, .glb, .gltf, .hmp, .ifc, .ifczip, .irr, .irrmesh, .lwo, .lws, .lxo, .md2, .md3, .md5anim, .md5camera, .md5mesh, .mdc, .mdl, .mesh, .mesh.xml, .mot, .ms3d, .ndo, .nff, .obj, .off, .ogex, .pk3, .ply, .pmx, .prj, .q3o, .q3s, .raw, .scn, .sib, .smd, .stl, .stp, .ter, .uc, .vta, .x, .x3d, .x3db, .xgl, .xml, .zgl.

It is possible to export the 3D objects into the following file formats: dae, x, stp, obj, obj, stl, stl, ply, ply, 3ds, gltf, glb, gltf, glb, assbin, assxml, x3d, fbx, fbx, 3mf. files

The Ab3d.PowerToys also works very well with Ab3d.DXEngine the DirectX 11 rendering engine for .Net and WPF applications.

Are you new to 3D graphics?

No problem. The libraries come with full documentation, many samples and based on many years of experience we offer the best support for any .Net 3D related questions.

Our libraries can run in WPF and WinForms applications. The Ab3d.PowerToys library is using WPF 3D rendering engine from .Net 4.0 (or 3.5 SP1). The engine does not provide all the features of DirectX and is not capable of running high end 3D games but is capable of showing quite complex 3D scenes with models with several hundred thousand triangles.

If you need to render more complex 3D scenes or have advanced visuals and rendering quality, then you can very easily extend the application with using a Ab3d.DXEngine library.

The library gives you a complete solution for:

• creating monitoring systems with showing actions on real 3D models,
• displaying 3D simulations and mathematical models,
• displaying 3D models of your products or prototypes,
• creating applications to design and configure in reality-like 3D scenes,
• creating interesting 3D effects,
• and many more.
