Aspose.3D for .NET empowers .NET applications to connect with 3D document formats. 3D .NET API lets engineers read, convert, build, alter, and control the substance of the 3D document formats without any 3D modeling and rendering software installed on the machine.

What is Aspose.3D for .NET?

Aspose.3D for .NET is an on premise class library that enables your .NET applications to create, read, manipulate, convert and save various formats of 3D files (e.g. 3DS, 3MF, DAE, DFX, gITF, U3D, MB, MA, USDZ etc.), without installing any 3rd party 3D modeling or rendering software.

Aspose.3D for .NET API enhances your .NET apps to open files of 3D formats and work with the elements within the 3D scenes; such as; line, mesh, nurbs, curves to more complex elements like animation. You can also work with textures, parametrized geometries, scene graphs, custom properties, skeletons, morph deformers and much more.

Aspose.3D for .NET can be used on any operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux) that can install Mono (.NET 4.0 Framework support) or use .NET Core. It is a single .NET library that you can deploy with any .NET application by simply copying it. You do not have to worry about other services or modules. Aspose.3D for .NET is designed to perform equally well on the server as well as the client-side.

Platform Independence

Aspose.3D for .NET is written in C# and supports Windows Forms as well as ASP.NET apps. Development can be performed on any platform that has a .NET environment for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. It supports .NET Frameworks 2.0 till 4.7.2 as well as the Client Profile version for .NET Framework 4.0.

Get Started

Are you ready to give Aspose.3D for .NET a try? Simply execute Install-Package Aspose.3D from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio to fetch the NuGet package. If you already have Aspose.3D for .NET and want to upgrade the version, please execute Update-Package Aspose.3D to get the latest version.

Build a Scene with Primitive 3D Models using C# Code

You can execute the below code snippet to see how Aspose.3D performs in your environment or check the GitHub Repository for other common usage scenarios.

// initialize a Scene object
Scene scene = new Scene();
// create a Box model
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode("box", new Box());
// create a Cylinder model
scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode("cylinder", new Cylinder());
// save drawing in FBX format
scene.Save("output.fbx");

Convert 3D file format using C# Code

Just one line of code, converting a 3D file into a different format couldn't be simpler with Aspose.3D for .NET:

Scene.FromFile("input.blend").Save("output.usdz");

Apply blind watermark on 3D meshes to protect your copyright

Aspose.3D for .NET's blind watermark feature is an advanced tool designed for embedding hidden watermarks within 3D models, enhancing digital asset protection.

//Mesh can from any where you want
Mesh mesh = ...;
//Apply watermark, the utility will return a new mesh with invisible watermark applied.
mesh = Watermark.EncodeWatermark(mesh, "Copyright by Aspose.3D");
//Save the mesh to file, here we use STL to verify the watermark, which only contains position and normal data.
(new Scene(mesh)).Save("copyright.stl");

//Now decode the watermark from the STL file
mesh = Scene.FromFile("copyright.stl").RootNode.ChildNodes[0].GetEntity<Mesh>();
//See if the watermark was applied correctly
var watermark = Watermark.DecodeWatermark(mesh);
Console.WriteLine($"Watermark in file: {watermark}");

Procedural modeling

Aspose.3D for .NET provides many procedural modeling like extruding, sweeping on 2D profile to form a 3D geometry, boolean operations, or parametric geometrics.

//Create a new 3D scene
Scene scene = new Scene();

// Initialize the base profile to be extruded
var profile = new RectangleShape()
{
    RoundingRadius = 0.3
};

// Create left node
var left = scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode();
left.CreateChildNode(new Box(0.01, 3, 3));

// Create right node
var right = scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode();
right.CreateChildNode(new Box(0.01, 3, 3));
right.Transform.Translation = new Vector3(5, 0, 0);

//Perform linear extrusion on left node using center and slices property
left.CreateChildNode(new LinearExtrusion(profile, 3) { Center = false, Slices = 3 });

// Perform linear extrusion on left node using center and slices property
right.CreateChildNode(new LinearExtrusion(profile, 3) { Center = true, Slices = 3 });
