Where Are We?

The Viewport3D class allows you to add simple 3D models your user interface. The scene is built up with shapes defined by mesh geometries. These might be imported from a 3D modeling program, or generated at runtime from data. The appearance of the shapes is described by materials—combinations of 2D brushes and various lighting models. Because you can use any 2D brush, you can paint 3D surfaces with bitmaps, drawings, videos, or even a visual copy of a user interface. Finally, hit testing services enable you to find out with which part of a 3D model the user is interacting.
