AssimpNet
A cross-platform .NET Standard wrapper for the Open Asset Importer ("Assimp"). The library enables importing, processing, and exporting of 3D models for rendering in graphics/game applications. Over 40 formats are supported for importing (e.g. OBJ, FBX, GLTF, 3DS, Collada) and a subset of those formats can be exported to (e.g. OBJ, GLTF, 3DS, Collada). Mesh processing features allow for mesh data to be generated or optimized for real-time rendering.

Notes
1. Right-handed Cartesian coordinate system and row major matrix by default
HelixToolkit default is using right-handed Cartesian coordinate system, including Meshbuilder etc. To use left-handed Cartesian coordinate system (Camera.CreateLeftHandedSystem = true), user must manually correct the triangle winding order or IsFrontCounterClockwise in raster state description if using SharpDX. Matrices are row major by default.
2. Performance Topics for WPF.SharpDX and UWP.
3. Following features are not supported currently on FeatureLevel 10 graphics card:
FXAA, Order Independant Transparent Rendering, Particle system, Tessellation.
4. Wiki and useful External Resources on Computer Graphics.
