This document describes changes to the Aspose.3D API from version 1.2.0 to 1.3.0, that may be of interest to module/application developers. It includes not only new and updated public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in Aspose.3D.

Namespace and class name changes

Namespace Aspose.ThreeD.Animations changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Animation
Class Aspose.ThreeD.Animations.Animation changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Animation.AnimationNode
Namespace Aspose.ThreeD.IO changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Formats
Namespace Aspose.ThreeD.Utils changed to Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities

Create Vertex by Assigning the Reference and Mapping Modes

Developers can create vertex by assigning the Reference and Mapping modes in a single line of code. Example code:

The Mesh class object is being used in the code. We can create a Mesh class object as narrated there.

 // call overloaded CreateElement method of the Mesh object

VertexElementNormal elementNormal = mesh.CreateElement(VertexElementType.Normal, MappingMode.ControlPoint, ReferenceMode.Direct) as VertexElementNormal;

Universal 3D Saving Option is added in the FileFormat

The Universal 3D format option has been added in the FileFormat enum. Example code:

 // save scene in the Universal3D format

scene.Save("C:\\temp\\Output.fbx", FileFormat.Universal3D);

Embed Raw Content to the Texture of FBX

The Content property has added to the Texture class to embed the raw content in the texture of FBX document. Example code:

 // initialize Texture class object

Texture texture = new Texture();

// set file name

texture.FileName = "embedded-texture.png";

// set binary content

texture.Content = File.ReadAllBytes("c:\\test.png");

Decompose method is added in the Matrix4 class

It is a mathematical utility function used to decompose an affine transformation matrix.

A new constructor in Vector4 class is added to receive a Vector3 object parameter

It makes easier to construct a Vector4 based on the Vector3. The fourth value of the Vector4 presents plane w and its default value is 1.
