Richard Newcombe takes us into the basics of building and moving inside a 3D world of our own making, using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and VB.NET.
Richard Newcombe takes a look at the basic building blocks of a 3D world. While 2D animation was done by hard coding all of the graphics, 3D animation is much easier, using the WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) graphical subsystem to handle the actual image rendering.
