Hi,
I'm looking for a way to simulate a projector in wpf 3D :
i've these "in" parameters :
beam shape : a black and white bitmap file
beam size ( ex : 30 °)
beam color
beam intensity ( dimmer )
projector position (x,y,z)
beam position (pan(x),tilt(y) relative to projector)
First i was thinking of using light object but it seem that wpf can't do that
So, now i think that i can make for each projector a polygon from my bitmap...
First i need to convert the black and white bitmap to vector.
Only Simple shape ( bubble, line,dot,cross ...)
Is there any WPF way to do that ? Or maybe a external program file (freeware);
then i need to build the polygon, with the shape of the converted bitmap ,
color , size , orientation in parameter.
i don't know how can i defined the lenght of the beam , and if it can be infiny ...
To show the beam result, i think of making a room ( floor , wall ...) and beam will end to these wall...
i don't care of real light render ( dispersion ...) but the scene render has to be real time and at least 15 times / second (with probably from one to 100 projectors at the same time), information about position, angle,shape,color will be sent for each render...
Well so, i need sample for that, i guess that all of these things could be useful for other people
If you have sample code :
Convert Bitmap to vector
Extrude vectors from one point with a angle parameter until collision of a wall
Set x,y position of the beam depend of the projector position
Set Alpha intensity of the beam, color
Maybe i'm totally wrong and WPF is not ready for that , so advise me about other way ( xna,d3D ) with sample of course ;-)
Thanks you
