[file-formats-programming]

Convert Google Draco Encoded DRC File to 3D Supported Formats inside .NET Applications

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.3D for .NET 17.03.0. The new version adds support of importing Google Draco encoded DRC files. Developers can import DRC files into the Aspose.3D API, and then export them in any supported 3D format. Developers can install Aspose.3D Nuget package in their .NET applications because Aspose team publish each version as a NuGet package on the NuGet gallery. The Google Draco, an open source compression library, can improve the storage and transmission of 3D graphics. Draco can be used to compress meshes and point-cloud data. It also supports compressing points, connectivity information, texture coordinates, color information, normals and any other generic attributes associated with geometry. Draco encodes 3D data in DRC file. Using Aspose.3D API, developers can convert a Draco encoded DRC to 3D supported formats. All supported 3D formats are listed on the documentation page title save a 3D Document. This help topic “Reading a 3D Scene” will help to know the way of importing an existing DRC file. This release includes plenty of new features as listed below

Add support of importing Google Draco (.drc) files.

Enhanced Reading a 3D Scene

Add support of importing the DXF.

Newly added documentation pages and articles

Some new tips and articles have now been added into Aspose.3D for .NET documentation that may guide users briefly how to use Aspose.3D for performing different tasks like the followings.

Reading a 3D Scene

Overview: Aspose.3D for .NET

Aspose.3D for .NET is a feature-rich component and class library for .NET that empowers Mono and .NET application including ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Web Services to connect with prevalent 3D document formats automatically without the 3D modeling and rendering software being installed on the server. It supports FBX (ASCII, Binary) and STL (ASCII, Binary) file formats and developers can easily create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of these 3D document formats using Aspose.3D API.

Create Animated Scene, Create Primitive 3D Shapes & Convert Meshes to Binary Format using Java

What’s new in this release?

Aspose is proud to expand its components family with the addition of a new product known as Aspose.3D for Java 18.5. Aspose.3D for Java API has incorporated import and export features, and developers would be able to convert their 3D models to any supported 3D formats. All readable and writable supported file formats are listed in the documentation help topics "Read 3D document" and |Save 3D document" on blog announcements page. Aspose.3D for Java API includes support of creating 3D scene from scratch, defining Metadata of the 3D scene, creating primitive 3D Shapes and visiting sub nodes to convert meshes to custom binary format. With Aspose.3D for Java API, developers can generate and store tangent and binormal data for all meshes. The tangent and bitangent are orthogonal vectors with the Normal, and instruct about the rate of change of the texture coordinates over the mesh surface. Developers can also triangulate mesh, split mesh, convert primitive shapes to meshes, encode 3D mesh in the Google Draco file, convert all Polygons to triangles and generate normal data for all meshes of 3D scene. Aspose.3D for Java API supports rendering the animated scene, and the help topic narrates prerequisites to move an object. Developers can also set up the Camera with a target to constrain. Aspose.3D for Java API supports rotating objects in a 3D scene, add node hierarchy, share geometry data of mesh between multiple nodes, concatenate Quaternions apply to 3D objects, define Mesh from scratch, set up normals or UV on objects and also add Material.  This release includes plenty of new features as listed below

Define Metadata, create Primitive 3D Shapes and convert Meshes to binary format

Add Asset Information to 3D document

Create Scene with Primitive 3D Shapes

Save 3D Meshes in Custom Binary Format

Export 3D Scene to GLTF 2.0 Format & Customize Non-PBR to PBR Materials using .NET

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.3D for .NET 17.05.0. The new version 17.5 of the API adds support of importing GLTF 2.0 (ASCII and Binary) files in the Aspose.3D API as well as allows developers to apply Physically Based Rendering (PBR) material to 3D entities. Developers may then save the final 3D scene to any supported file format. All other internal improvements are also incorporated. Developers can install Aspose.3D Nuget package in their .NET applications because we publish each version as a NuGet package on the NuGet gallery. Aspose team recommends clients to upgrade old version of the Aspose.3D API with this latest one. GLTF 2.0 (GL Transmission Format) improves the way of storing, transferring and rendering 3D models. With the help of Aspose.3D for .NET API, developers can import existing GLTF 2.0 (ASCII and Binary) models, and then save in any other supported 3D format. Aspose.3D for .NET offers the capabilities to create an instance of any supported 3D entities, set position in a 3D scene, and then save in the supported file format. Developers would now be able to apply Physically Based Rendering material to that entity instance before saving. This help topic helps to know the way of applying Physically Based Rendering material to an instance of 3D entity. This release includes plenty of new features as listed below

New PBR material to support physically based rendering

Allow Aspose.3D API to import GLTF 2.0 ASCII files
