Saving 3D in PDF

Introduction

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on using Aspose.3D for .NET! In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of loading and saving 3D models, focusing on the specific task of saving a 3D model in PDF format. Aspose.3D for .NET is a powerful library that provides efficient tools for working with 3D files, making it an essential resource for developers and enthusiasts in the field.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

Aspose.3D for .NET: Ensure you have the library installed. If not, you can download it from the Aspose.3D for .NET documentation .
Development Environment: Set up your preferred .NET development environment.
Basic Understanding of 3D Concepts: Familiarize yourself with fundamental 3D concepts, as this guide assumes a basic knowledge of 3D modeling.

Import Namespaces

In your .NET project, make sure to import the necessary namespaces to access the functionalities provided by Aspose.3D:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using Aspose.ThreeD;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Entities;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Shading;
using Aspose.ThreeD.Formats;
using System.Drawing;

Step 1: Create a New Scene

Start by initializing a new 3D scene using the Aspose.3D library. This serves as the foundation for your 3D model.

Scene scene = new Scene();

Step 2: Add a Cylinder Child Node

To demonstrate the saving process, let’s create a simple 3D model - a cylinder. Add a cylinder as a child node to the scene.

scene.RootNode.CreateChildNode("cylinder", new Cylinder()).Material = new PhongMaterial() { DiffuseColor = new Vector3(Color.DarkCyan) };

Step 3: Set Rendering Mode and Lighting Scheme

Define the rendering mode and lighting scheme for your 3D scene. This step allows you to customize the visual appearance of your model.

PdfSaveOptions opt = new PdfSaveOptions();
opt.LightingScheme = PdfLightingScheme.CAD;
opt.RenderMode = PdfRenderMode.ShadedIllustration;

Step 4: Save in PDF Format

Finally, execute the saving process by specifying the output directory and file name. In this case, we’re saving the 3D model in PDF format.

scene.Save("Your Output Directory" + "output_out.pdf", opt);

Make sure to replace “Your Output Directory” with the desired path.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve successfully learned how to use Aspose.3D for .NET to create a simple 3D model and save it in PDF format. This is just the beginning of what you can achieve with this powerful library. Explore more features and possibilities in the Aspose.3D documentation .
