  • v2.16.0 Changes

    April 24, 2021

    ➕ Added

    1. Adds coordinate system axis color dependency properties for Viewport3DX. (WPF.SharpDX/UWP) 👍 1. Support for loading .obj and .mtl from stream. (WPF)

    👌 Improvement

    1. Avoid GPU resources getting destroyed and re-created unnecessarily. (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)
    2. Improves texture loading. Re-implemented TextureModel and provides ITextureInfoLoader interface to allow user defined texture repository.(WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)
    3. Auto caching Stream and TextureModel pair to avoid duplicated texture resources.(WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)
    4. TextureModel changes to be Guid based. TextureModel with same Guid will be treated as same texture.(WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core) ✅ 1. Aggregate hit test function parameters into single hit test context. (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core) 🚚 1. Move FXAA to the end of rendering, so FXAA applies onto screen spaced object. (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)
    5. Add preliminary hit check with hit thickness for PointNode. (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)

    🛠 Fixed

    🔧 1. Fixed viewport crash during display configuration change #1531. (WPF.SharpDX) 🛠 1. Fixed cursor is wrong after pressing multiple mouse button simultaneously (WPF.SharpDX/UWP) 🛠 1.

    🛠 Fixed

    ✅ 1. Fixed small triangle hit test is not working correctly in octree. #1428 (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core) 🛠 2. Fixed PointVisual3D and LinesVisual3D invisible on mirrored transformation. #1340 (WPF)

  • v2.13.0 Changes

    October 10, 2020

    [2.13.0] - 2020-10-10

    ➕ Added

    ➕ Added AlwaysHittable property for scene nodes. Allow mesh to be hittable even it is not being rendered(Visable = false). Ref #1393 (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)

    Implemented high DPI rendering under DPI scaling to improve rendering quality. #1404 (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)

    To turn this feature off if encounter issues, set Viewport3DX.EnableDpiScale = false.

    👌 Improvement and Changes

    ✅ 1. Improved small triangle hit test. Ref #1353 (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core) 👍 2. Supports up to 8 clipping planes(cross section). Ref #1396 (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core) 👍 3. Supports Dot Net Core 3.1. (Core) ⬆️ 4. Upgrades Assimp.net to 5.0 beta.

    🛠 Fixed

    🛠 Fixed hit test in CrossSectionGeometryModel3D when uses octree or set CuttingOperation = Substract. Ref #1396 (WPF.SharpDX/UWP/Core)

    🛠 Fixed keybinding issue in Viewport3DX. Ref #1390 (WPF.SharpDX)

    🛠 Fixed UWP runtime error due to dependency property naming conflicts. #1365

    In order to fix the issue, following breaking changes have to be made: (UWP)
