SilverMotion 1.0.1

SilverMotion - Fast Silverlight 3D rendering environment.

Fast Silverlight 3D rendering environment.


Based on the cutting edge Microsoft Silverlight technology, SilverMotion is a reliable 3D rendering component and requires only a web browser and Microsoft Silverlight in order to run - no additional custom plugins, third-party components, JAVA nor Flash required. SilverMotion provides reasonably fast realtime rendering with modern effects like bump mapping, refraction and reflection mapping, cell-shading, multi-texturing, dynamic lighting, fogging, smooth grouping, fully dynamical cameras and more.


With it's sophisticated rendering engine, SilverMotion utilizes multi-core CPU systems in order to extract the maximum performance of modern hardware. The goal of SilverMotion is to provide an easy to use, functional, compatible, visually appealing and practically applicable real-time 3D environment for the web, ready to cover any need.


Easy to use

Import entire 3D scenes with a variety of dynamic lights, cameras and meshes with materials and shaders applied with a single step. Simply put the SilverMotion component into the Silverlight development enviornment and import your .3DS file, exported directly from a 3D modelling environment (Blender, 3DS Max, Maya, MilkShape and etc.) into it. That's it. The scene will be rendered, ready to be interacted within your browser. Resource files can be put on a server and loaded dynamically or to be embedded as resources in your application. SilverMotion supports loading from a zip-packed 3DS models and textures to reduce loading times on slow Internet connection.


SilverMotion offers user friendly, yet fully functional API, designed in every step to be logical and obvious for any user. SilverMotion's software architecture wraps the abstract logic and mathematics of 3D into user API, aimed at purely practical tasks, the very most of which require no previous knowledge of 3D mechanics from the developer. SilverMotion's goal is to deliver functional 3D immediately and to anyone.


Rich amount of features

In addition to the vast graphics features provided by SilverMotion's shading system, it provides all the functionality concerning scene dynamics you need to pour more life into your 3D setting. Automatic keyframe animation, fully dynamical cameras with run-time adjustable position, target, FOV, Lens focal distance, screen aspect ratio and projection type, customizable objects transformations and motions, precise screen-picking and other features provide a complete environment for rendering dynamic and interactive 3D scenes. Give SilverMotion a try to fully assess its capabilities!
