3DEngine

Simple 3D rendering engine entirely written in VB.NET

Main features:

• Objects are provided by defining their vertices and an included Delaunay algorithm performs the necessary triangulations to extract the objects’ faces.
• Multiple rendering modes.
• Multiple objects per scene.
• Fast GDI+ drawing.
• Save scene to GIF.

Known issues:

• Transparency is not working.
• There seems to be a bug in the triangulation algorithm which causes it to fail when tessellating the vertices of a sphere.
• Although support to save animated GIFs is implemented, the GifBitmapEncoder.aspx) does not seem to support saving animated GIFs.
• Clockwise rotations in the Rubik’s cube sample are not currently supported.

Rubik’s cube sample:

When using the Rubik’s cube sample, use the following keys to rotate each face:

• [F] Rotate Front Face
• [B] Rotate Back Face
• [T] Rotate Top Face
• [D] Rotate Bottom Face
• [L] Rotate Left Face
• [R] Rotate Right Face
