Customized Shear Bottom Cylinder

Introduction

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on creating a customized cylinder using Aspose.3D for .NET. If you’re looking to enhance your 3D modeling skills and add unique features to your projects, you’re in the right place. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process step by step, using clear explanations and code snippets.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, ensure you have the following:

Basic understanding of C# and .NET programming.
Aspose.3D for .NET library installed. You can download it here .
A development environment set up for .NET programming.

Import Namespaces

In your C# code, start by importing the necessary namespaces:

using Aspose.ThreeD;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Entities;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

Step 1: Create a Scene

Begin by creating a 3D scene using Aspose.3D:

Scene scene = new Scene();

Step 2: Create Cylinder 1

Generate the first cylinder and set its properties:

var cylinder1 = new Cylinder(2, 2, 10, 20, 1, false);

Step 3: Customize Shear Bottom for Cylinder 1

Apply a customized shear bottom to the first cylinder:

// Shear 47.5deg in the xy plane (z-axis)
cylinder1.ShearBottom = new Vector2(0, 0.83); 

// Set GenerateFanCylinder to true
cylinder1.GenerateFanCylinder = true;
// Set ThetaLength
cylinder1.ThetaLength = MathUtils.ToRadian(270);

// Set OffsetTop
cylinder1.OffsetTop = new Vector3(5, 3, 0);

Step 4: Add Cylinder 1 to the Scene

Add the first cylinder to the scene and set its translation:

scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode(cylinder1).Transform.Translation = new Vector3(10, 0, 0);

Step 5: Create Cylinder 2

Generate a second cylinder with similar properties:

var cylinder2 = new Cylinder(2, 2, 10, 20, 1, false);

Step 6: Add Cylinder 2 to the Scene

Add the second cylinder to the scene without customized parameters:

scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode(cylinder2);

Step 7: Save the Scene

Save the scene as a Wavefront OBJ file in your document directory:

scene.Save("Your Document Directory" + "CustomizedShearBottomCylinder.obj", FileFormat.WavefrontOBJ);

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully created a customized shear bottom cylinder using Aspose.3D for .NET. This tutorial aimed to provide a step-by-step guide for users with varying levels of expertise in 3D modeling and programming.
