Ab3d.Reader3ds, developed by AB4D d.o.o., is a top-tier class library primarily used to read 3D models from 3ds files in any WPF application. The latest version, 6.0.3624, boasts an array of features that elevate the user experience, positioning it as a standout tool in the Photo & Graphics category, specifically under Viewers & Editors.

The program is incredibly easy to use. Users can display 3D models via Viewport3ds control or Model3ds Visual3D in XAML. For more advanced applications, the Reader3ds class offers numerous properties and methods to facilitate detailed control over 3ds file reading. Its vibrant community of users highly appreciates its capability to read the model hierarchy and their names with maximal ease, simplifying object access significantly. Additionally, the Transformer3ds class aids in object transformations, while the Animator3ds helper class makes animations stored in 3ds files a breeze to handle.

It’s worth noting that Ab3d.Reader3ds supports exporting 3D models from almost any 3D modeling application because the 3ds file format is one of the most commonly used. This flexibility makes it a robust library for any WPF-based 3D project. Full of practical features like reading positions, triangle indices, texture coordinates, and normals, the program ensures comprehensive functionality. It even dives into finer details such as reading smoothing groups, which define sharp and smooth edges, and all necessary lights and cameras.

Ab3d.Reader3ds is available under a Shareware license, which means users can explore its beneficial aspects before committing to a purchase. The library also presents many samples to demonstrate its effectiveness, proving highly beneficial for both beginner and advanced users.

For those interested in obtaining Ab3d.Reader3ds, both the latest and previous versions, including 11.3, 6.0, and 5.3, are available. Moreover, it features built-in TGA image reader and supports generating formatted XAML via the GetXaml method.

Pros:

  1. Ease of Use: Simplified access to 3D models and transformations.
  2. Comprehensive Features: Fully managed code with capabilities to read object hierarchies, animations, and materials.
  3. Integration: Works excellently within any WPF application and supports partial trust applications.

Cons:

  1. Shareware License: Not entirely free, but download is available for trial.
  2. Specific to WPF Applications: Compatibility is limited to Windows Presentation Foundation, restricting its use outside this framework.

By addressing these considerations, Ab3d.Reader3ds continues to be an essential tool for anyone working extensively with 3D models in WPF applications.
