Convert LightWave 3D Files to XAML

  • Article

Hooray! Here's another 3D format that can now be converted to XAML for use with WPF. Richard Godfrey has been working with Michael Stocking, Mark Hennessy-Barrett, Alex Young, and Steve Kennett to produce the freely-available ShaxamWeb LightWave to XAML Converter.

There's nothing to install; just visit www.shaxam.com, upload your 200K-or-less .lwo file, and get back some glorious XAML that retains your geometry, textures, and animation. The team has made good use of Resource Dictionaries for efficiency, and they get extra bonus points for including detailed information about how the converter works (and what doesn't work). To meet the development team and see the converter in action, watch their 17-minute interview on Channel 9.
