Ab3d.DXEngine is built for advanced business and scientific 3D visualization.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because this version of Ab3d.DXEngine does not require the SharpDX library, there are some breaking changes when you upgrade from version 7.
If you just want new features and do not want to update your application, use v7.2 instead of v8.0 (it has all the features of v8.0).
If you want to remove the dependency on SharpDX and use newer SIMD-enabled vector types, you will need to use .NET 10 and make a few code changes - see the Upgrade Ab3d.DXEngine to v8.0 guide (https://github.com/ab4d/Ab3d.DXEngine.Wpf.Samples/Upgrade-DXEngine-to-v8.md).
Ab3d.DXEngine uses super fast rendering techniques that can fully utilize graphics cards and provide the ultimate performance. It also supports top quality visuals with PBR materials and shadows.
Ab3d.DXEngine package is the core package of the library.
Usually, the Ab3d.DXEngine.Wpf package is also used.
It is also recommended to use Ab3d.PowerToys library that greatly simplifies working with 3D graphics.
