I am trying to create a silverlight 3D cube with images on it's each side (that is an easy part). The hard part, there will be multiple images in each side, let's say 10 x 10 on each side (100 * 6 = 600 images on a cube). Each image must be clickable so
that i can perform some "xyz" operation on it.
I have read lot of articles about how to create 3D image cube but they all have 1 image on each side, I want multiple clickable images. My first question, is it even possible in silverlight, if so, can you point me into right direction so i can divert my
effort in that area?
What i need is a good suggestion as to how create this 3D image cube. Any type of suggestion is welcome.
telerik has one already made if you dont want to recreate the wheel. you should be able to place a container on each side. each container can hold as many images or controls as you want.
that being said, the dll for just the cube is over a meg, and your xap file will be bloated.
Thanks for the reply and pointing out the telerik control. While googling for the 3D cube i came across telerik which looks impressive but i don't want to use that. Originally, i started exploration on 3D cube as requirement from a client, but it didn't
went well (he wanted to show 400 x 400 images on each side of cube, which is kind of stupid to do at the first place).
Anyway, i am not creating the image cube just out of curosity and to learn that is why i need suggestions.
use silverlight 3 could implement your need. Projection can be applied on any frameworkelement, which means you could let a grid with 10*10 images as a whole element and do projection.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I ended up creating my own 3d cube with drawing polygons for each cube and using imagebrush. I will try to paste the 3d cube code once i am finished. I am trying to make image cube of 20 x 20.

Some blog about projection
