[Release] .Net 3d modelviewer control

.Net 3d modelviewer
-------------------------
By: Allstar

The idea:
So, I was kinda' bored and wanted to continue my "WoW Creature Creator" application, but it seems I deleted the source code and I don't want to re-begin programming. So creating this control takes me (or you) one step closer to a good wow application.

Anyway, that's not important. I just created this control so that you guys can "easily" use a modelviewer for your .net applications.

NOTE: My control has only been tested with C#.net 3.5

The possibilities:
So, what can you do with it?
Well, pretty much the same you can do with WoWhead's 3d modelviewer.

- Support for one model:

Code for one model:

modelviewer1.SetModel("39107", (int)Modelviewer.modeltype.Weapon);

Explanation:
With .setmodel you can display a single model on the modelviewer. It requires 2 parameters. The first parameter is a string, it represents the DISPLAY-ID of the model. The second parameter is an integer and It's the modeltype. In this example I used enums to make it easier to code, though you can use simple integers as well.

The enums are as following:

Weapon = 1,
Armor = 2,
NPC = 8,
EquipedArmor = 16

- Support for multiple models that can be equiped (such as armor and weapons):

Code for equipable models:

modelviewer1.SetModelForEquip("draenei", "female", equiplist_string);

Explanation:
With .SetModelForEquip you start the render of multiple equipable items.
This function requires 3 parameters.
- The first parameter is a string and represents the race you want to show. This is a simple string without caps, and no spaces.
- The second parameter is also a string and represents the gender of the displayed character (either "male" or "female").
- The third parameter is a bit more tricky. This is the list of items the character will be wearing:

string[] equiplist = { Convert.ToString((int)Modelviewer.slot.Head), "15322", Convert.ToString((int)Modelviewer.slot.Offhand), "48339", "5", "13116", "7", "13117", "4", "13115" };
string equiplist_string = String.Join(",", equiplist);

It's easier then it looks. The first entry of the array is a string containing the slot-id. Again you can either use the enums or a number (don't forget to convert to string!) as you can see in the example.

The enums:

Ammo = 0,
Head = 1,
Neck = 2,
Shoulder = 3,
Shirt = 4,
Chest = 5,
Belt = 6,
Legs = 7,
Feet = 8,
Wrist = 9,
Gloves = 10,
Finger1 = 11,
Finger2 = 12,
Trinket1 = 13,
Trinket2 = 14,
Back = 15,
MainHand = 16,
Offhand = 17,
Ranged = 18,
Tabard = 19

The second entry is the DISPLAY-ID of the model you want the character to wear.

So basically an itemlist should look like: (slot, displayid, slot, displayid, ...)

The last line in the example above just puts everything in that is in the array in one string where all items are separated by a ",".

Well, that's kinda' everything for now. Please note that it's still unfinished and that features will be added.

Anyways, I hope you guys can use this.

Very nice for those who would like to integrate this with their .NET project.

I can't get the example work :S. I get error Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)) at this.modelviewer1 = new Wowhead_Controls.Modelviewer();

I expected to see a real wowhead like model viewer, but...

Do you by any chance have a 64-bit OS? Try compiling for a 32-bit system. (x86)

It's wowhead's genuine model viewer. What more do you want?

oh this is neato nice work
