Yes, It’s alive.

As previously posted - I’ve been playing around with doing a viewer in WPF as a XBAP Browser Application. The above is a screenshot from it - at the moment it’s pretty primitive. No textures or colours (everything is a black box), however scales and positions are set correctly.

This is about 2-3 hours work so far (most of which was learning the WPF SDK), but it’s showing promise already. One of the problems I have been having is that the security sandbox requires cryptographic signatures on each component (and there’s a valid reason behind this), but getting that signature on libomv  has been painful, so for the moment I have abandoned the sandboxed version and require a small installer on the first run.

I will post more as I finish bits and pieces. The code is very first-generation hacky and ugly, but in theory there’s some potential for promise here.

Update #1: Slightly better image

After discovering that everything was black due to a lack of light sources in the scene, I have added two and the results look a bit nicer.
