Hi, how can I import accompany obj materials (.mtl)?

The documentation for "Importing" is currently empty.

The source file too does not provide any sample code only executable.

Download the latest version of the source code from the "Source Code" tab. The "HelixToolkit-examples.zip" download only contains the binaries.

Placing the material files (.mtl) and textures in the same folder as the .obj file should work. Tga textures must be converted to jpeg or png.

Hi,

what are your plans with the sharpdx based engine.

Will it be possible to see all your current examples based on sharpdx in the future?

Have you made some performance test?

Best regards,

Gregor

yes, I created an experimental fork to test SharpDX! A new world is opening up when getting access to more advanced DirectX features :)

Sorry, I have no plans to convert all examples of this library - they are made for WPF 3D!

+1 for this! (I think any demos or examples would have to be significantly rewritten)

Hi,

examples are not so importend.

The use of DirectX for beginners is to hard.

So your work can help many developers to get quick started with DirectX and C#.

Great work!

Thanks

Is there a correct way to compute the coordinates of the intersection of the frustum with a plane positioned somewhere between the near and the far planes? I think this should be the same as the viewport rectangle, but I can't seem to get it right. As you pan, zoom and rotate within the scene I need the coordinates of the 4 corners of the view so I can query a quadtree for assets.

I was planning to add a "projected grid" example, but have not had the time to do it yet...

If you have an example where we can help to debug, feel free to create a fork!

Hello,

I have version 72068 and there seems to be a problem with the ViewCube.

The cube is shown, but the PieSliceVisual under the cube not.

Is this a bug?

Best Regards

You are right, I had introduced a bug when refactoring the base class. Should be corrected now!

thanks!

So I just started using the Helix toolkit and honestly it is amazing and has made my life a lot easier. However I noticed a fairly significant performance slow down using the BoundingBoxVisual3D type. I did a test using the CubeVisual3D and the BoundingBoxVisual3D with ten of each dynamically moving as well as a dynamic camera look direction. The test yielded a massive change in performance between the two types. I was thinking of a way around this and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what I was thinking. 

Since the BoundingBox uses A set of lines to make a cube it has a good amount of overhead for each object. What if instead it used a custom Gradient Brush that went from a colored outline to a transparent center. I Think this could work out fairly well Let me know what you think.

The only drawback is you would need to individually paint each face, but could still easily be less overhead than the 12 lines per BoundingBox.
