Load/Convert 3D Files & Implement 3D Mesh Instancing Technique inside .NET Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.3D for .NET 1.0.0. This new release opens a new hole of automatic 3D modelling, brings agility and enables developers to be innovative and figures out the new ways. As we have narrated in our earlier post that it is a class library and support FBX and STL formats. For now it supports FBX (ASCII, Binary) versions 7.5 and 7.4. We are pleased to let our community know that we have added support of FBX (ASCII, Binary) version 7.3 too. It is expected in the next release version. 3D computer graphics are generally used and they are almost too common to see anywhere, let it be movies, structural engineering, the automobile industry, product designs, advertisements and many more. Although they are commonly seen, that doesn’t mean they are easily created. In order to ideally control 3D objects, we offer Aspose.3D API because it covers advance functionalities that would be required a full complex project to create from scratch. The Aspose.3D API allows developers to save a 3D file to any supported file format. A Mesh is defined by a set of control points and the many n-sided polygons as needed. Aspose.3D API allows developers to create the shape of the mesh geometry, place shapes in the scene and then save it in any supported file format. In the RTS (Real-time strategy) games like, we can always see multiple NPCs (Non-Player Character) with same 3D model, maybe in different colors, rendering engine usually share same mesh geometry data across different NPCs, this technique is called Instancing.   This release includes plenty of new features as listed below

• importer and exporter for both binary and ASCII format
• importer and exporter for both binary and ASCII format
• Wavefront .obj format importer and exporter
• Scene.Save method call also closes resultant stream
• Load and Convert a 3D File
• Implement 3D Mesh Instancing Technique
• Set up Normals or UV on Graphic Objects
• Add the Transformation to a Node
• Add Node Hierarchy in the 3D Scene Document
• Adding Material to the Shape Node
• Add an Asset Information to 3D Scene
• Add Animation to a Graphic Object

Overview: Aspose.3D for .NET

Aspose.3D for .NET is a feature-rich component and class library for .NET that empowers Mono and .NET application including ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Web Services to connect with prevalent 3D document formats automatically without the 3D modeling and rendering software being installed on the server. It supports FBX (ASCII, Binary) and STL (ASCII, Binary) file formats and developers can easily create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of these 3D document formats using Aspose.3D API.

Read Primavera XML File with Multiple Projects & Add Images to Page Header/Footer using .NET

What’s new in this release?

We are happy to announce the release of revamped version of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 8.9.0. This month’s release includes new features, enhancements and bug fixes that further improve the overall functionality of the API. A Primavera XML project file may contain more than one project where each project is represented by its unique project id. Aspose.Tasks API now provides the capability to read a specific project from such an XML file using its unique id. This is achieved using the new class, PrimaveraXMLReadingOptions, which provides the option to specify the project unique id to be loaded. It is common for Primavera XML file not to have any WBS inside i.e. contains only activities. Aspose.Tasks can’t read properly such type of file as it needs a root task to create a tree of tasks. In this case, the API creates a Root task even if it doesn’t exist in the file in order to be able to read these particular files. The API now provides PrimaveraXmlOptions to save the XML file with or without the created root task. By default, this value is set to true. This month’s release also introduces an enhancement of working with a page’s header/footer. Microsoft Project has the feature of adding image to a page’s header/footer that is part of the output then. Aspose.Tasks API now provides the same capability of including image in a page header/footer. This month’s release also fixes a number of bugs related to various functional areas of the API. These include, loss of split tasks while saving MPP project file, Issue with reading outline value properties, Problems reading information from Primavera XML files such as wrong dates, calendar exceptions, and durations and exception while loading certain Primavera XML files. Bellows is the list of new and enhanced features included in this new release.

• Implement ResourceRateNodeReader ,ProjectCurrencyNodeReader for PrimaveraXml Reader
• Implement Primavera Xml Save Option
• Reading Primavera XML file with multiple projects
• Provision of including Image in Page Header/Footer
• HtmlSaveOptions class is missing in latest version

Forward Email Messages Using SMTP Client & Copy Messages b/t Exchange Folders using .NET

What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Email for .NET 5.9.0. This month’s release contains a number of enhancements related to the API’s communication clients, message properties and recurrence patterns. It further improves the overall API functionality by fixing a number of issues reported with our last month’s release.  In almost all commercially available email communication systems, email message forwarding is a common requirement where a message can be forwarded to specific recipients. This month’s release enhances the API’s SmtpClient to forward messages to specific recipients using the Forward method. Aspose.Email API has the capability to parse Recurrence Rule, also known as RRULE defined as per RFC 5545 iCal specifications. This month’s release further enhances this functionality by providing the capability of generating Recurrence Pattern from such recurrence rules. The API’s MapiCalendarRecurrencePatternFactory class provides the method to achieve this as demonstrated in our documentation article. Follow up information refers to details shared by the receiver of message in response to sender’s request. This includes information such as delivery notification, read receipt delivery time, voting results and vote submission time. This month’s release adds new Mapi properties for retrieving such information from received messages. Aspose.Email API allows copying a message from one folder to another using the CopyItem method. This method has further been enhanced to return the copied message’s unique identifier that was not possible earlier. We have enhanced the API’s Exchange Web Service (EWS) client in terms of connectivity speed as compared to other commercially available APIs. With this improvement, the API now connects to Exchange server with notable improvements. This month’s release also fixes a number of bugs related to various functional areas of the API. For a complete of these, please visit our product download page. The main bug fixes & improved features added in this release are listed below

• How to generate Recurrence from this Recurrence Rule
• Improve support of asynchronous operations with allowance pipelining for IMAP client.
• Improve support of asynchronous operations with allowance pipelining for POP3 client.
• SmtpClient: Provision of Sending message to certain recipients
• Add setter to MessageClass property for MapiMessage class
