Ab3d.PowerToys

Ab3d.PowerToys is the ultimate WPF and WinForms 3D toolkit library that greatly simplifies developing desktop applications with scientific, technical, CAD or other 3D graphics.

Ab3d.PowerToys is using WPF 3D rendering engine (DirectX 9). Check Ab3d.DXEngine for super fast DirectX 11 rendering engine that can render the existing WPF 3D scene much faster and with better visual quality.

Main features

  • The easiest to use 3D API with many great code samples in C#
  • Cameras (TargetPositionCamera, FreeCamera, FirstPersonCamera, ThirdPersonCamera, etc.)
  • Camera Controllers (MouseCameraController, CameraControlPanel, CameraNavigationCircles)
  • 3D Models and Visuals (Sphere, Box, Cylinder, etc.)
  • Generate extruded or lathe 3D objects
  • Use Boolean operations on 3D objects or slice them with a 3D plane
  • 3D Lines (the fastest implementation for connected, disconnected and lines with arrows)
  • 3D Text
  • Event Manager 3D (simplified event handling on 3D objects)
  • Many helper classes to ease work with WPF 3D
  • Support for touch and multi-touch to rotate, move and zoom the camera
  • Import 3D models from obj files (integrated in Ab3d.PowerToys) or almost all other 3D files with Assimp importer
  • Play keyframe and skeletal animations from many 3D files with Assimp importer
  • Export 3D models to many file types files (using Assimp exporter)
  • Fully optimized to achieve best possible performance
  • When faster rendering is required, it is very easy to switch to DirectX 11 rendering with Ab3d.DXEngine
  • Premium support for all questions regarding WPF 3D and our libraries

Usage

This version of Ab3d.PowerToys can be used as an evaluation and as a commercial version.

Evaluation usage: On the first usage of the library, a dialog to start a 60-days evaluation is shown. The evaluation version offers full functionality of the library but displays an evaluation info dialog once a day and occasionally shows a "Ab3d.PowerToys evaluation" watermark text. When the evaluation is expired, you can ask for evaluation extension or restart the evaluation period when a new version of the library is available.

You can see the prices of the library and purchase it on Ab3d.PowerToys price list

Commercial usage: In case you have purchased a license, you can get the license parameters from your User Account web page (User log in). Then set the parametes with adding the following code before the library is used:

Ab3d.Licensing.PowerToys.LicenseHelper.SetLicense(licenseOwner: "[CompanyName]", licenseType: "[LicenseType]", license: "[LicenseText]");

Note that the version that is distributed as NuGet package uses a different licensing mechanism then the commercial version that is distributed with a windows installer. Also the LicenseText that is used as a parameter to the SetLicense method is different then the license key used in the installer.

Supported platforms

  • .NET Framework 4.0+
  • .NET Core 3.1
  • .NET 5.0
  • .NET 6.0
  • .NET 7.0

Ab3d.PowerToys v11.0.8746 change log:
- Added build for .Net 8.0
- Prevented null reference exception in CameraNavigationCircles when the control is loaded without loaded control's template.
- Improved MouseCameraController when zooming with an orthographic camera and using zoom to mouse position and the position is behind the camera or when there is no 3D object behind the mouse position.
- Improved MouseCameraController when camera's offset is used and when zooming to hit position but no position is hit - the "calculated hit-position" is now calculated in a better way.
- Improved MouseCameraController to always change the TargetPositionCamera's Distance when zooming even when using an orthgraphic camera. Also when using a perspective camera, the zooming changes the CameraWidth. This way when CameraType is changed, the camera's view is similar as before.
- Fixed LineSelectorData when it was created from PolyLine or MultiLine without any positions.
