//Create a transform that translates (1, 0, 0) then rotates alone the y axis pi radian.

var m  = Matrix4.RotateFromEuler(0, Math.PI, 0) * Matrix4.Translate(1, 0, 0);

Adds new classes Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities.ComposeOrder and Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities.TransformBuilder

The transform builder simplifies the creation of the transformation matrix by a chain of operations.

C#

 //use prepend order so the calculation is performed from left to right:

var m = (new TransformBuilder(ComposeOrder.Prepend))

    //Change the (x, y, z) into (x + 1, y, z)

    .Translate(1, 0, 0)

    //Rotate alone with the Y axis with 180deg will change the (x, y, z) into (-x, y, -z)

    .RotateEulerDegree(0, 180, 0)

    //Scale by 2 will change the (x, y, z) into (2x, 2y, 2z)

    .Scale(2)

    //change the (x, y, z) into (z, y, x)

    .Rearrange(Axis.ZAxis, Axis.YAxis, Axis.XAxis)

    .Matrix;



//Apply this matrix on a (0, 0, 0) vector, then we get the right result (0, 0, -2)

var t = m * Vector3.Origin;

Members updated to Aspose.ThreeD.Formats

This change introduces a new class Aspose.ThreeD.Formats.PlyFormat, which allows you to encode single mesh instead of the whole scene:

C#

 public static readonly Aspose.ThreeD.FileFormat PLY;

//Changed to

public static readonly Aspose.ThreeD.Formats.PlyFormat PLY;



// sample code

// Create a cylinder object and save it to ply file

FileFormat.PLY.EncodeMesh(new Cylinder(), "cylinder.ply");

Adds a new class Aspose.ThreeD.Formats.PlySaveOptions

Ply format has no an official standard, different application may have different definitions of its vertex format, this class allows you to define details of the Ply format. For example the default component name for texture coordinate components is ‘u’ and ‘v’, but some application uses ’s’ and ’t’, then you can change the name by using this class:

C#

 //Save as binary PLY format, the default value is ASCII

PlySaveOptions opt = new PlySaveOptions(FileContentType.Binary);

//change the components to 's' and 't'

opt.TextureCoordinateComponents.Item1 = "s";

opt.TextureCoordinateComponents.Item2 = "t";

//save the mesh

FileFormat.PLY.EncodeMesh(new Cylinder(), "cylinder.ply", opt);

Usage Examples

Please check the list of help topics added or updated in the Aspose.3D Wiki docs:

  1. Convert Mesh of a single 3D object in PLY file
  2. Simplify the creation of transformation matrix by the chain operations
