XChange International announces ZAM 3D

On Tuesday XChange International announced Electric Rain’s ZAM 3D, a 3D Modeling application that supports XAML.

Electric Rain ZAM 3Dâ„¢ is a full-featured 3D modelling application that enables easy creation, customisation and animation of 3D interface elements for Windows Vista based applications. Once a 3D scene is created, ZAM 3D automatically generates the XAML (eXtensible Application Markup Language) markup necessary to convert the 3D elements into a Windows Presentation Foundation “WPF” (formally Avalon) 3D scene.

WPF, Flash, DHTML, Silverlight and Flex rendering speeds compared

WPF speed test

Alexey Gavrilov has put together a great comparison of the rendering speeds of WPF, Flash, DHTML, Silverlight and Flex. He also compares how the different browsers handle rendering. It’s not a large sample set, but the results are still very interesting.

You can take the tests for yourself at www.bubblemark.com/

WPF 3D Showcase, DOMINOKIN by Bascule JP

For the Japanese launch of Vista in December 06 Bascule launched a project to show off the capabilities of WPF 3D. They did a really great job of taking a platform that was in it’s infancy and, rather than focusing on the technology, kept things simple and applied their unique style to it. The result is a bizarre 3D experience that’s difficult to explain.

Once you launch the application click the camera icon to take control of the view, click and drag to look around.

After looking around the Bascule site I have to say I love this agecy. I have no idea what it says but their work is completely out to lunch. It’s a great combo of art and technology.
