Zero3D

ZeroPlatform Tier License: MIT .NET Multi-Targeting NuGet Version

Zero3D is an enterprise-grade, pure C# 3D graphics, software rasterization, point cloud processing, and model loading engine for .NET. Built with zero external unmanaged dependencies, it runs seamlessly across Windows, Linux, macOS, and headless containerized environments.

Operating as a 3D geometry, rasterization & model format foundation of Tier 4 (Graphics & Spatial 3D) within the ZeroPlatform ecosystem.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Ecosystem Architectural Alignment

  • Architectural Tier: Tier 4 (Graphics & Spatial 3D)
  • Permitted Upstream Dependencies: Tier 0 (ZeroPrimitives, ZeroConcurrency), Tier 1 (ZeroTensor, ZeroCompute), Tier 3 (ZeroGeometry)
  • Downstream Consumers: Tier 4 (ZeroTwin3D), Tier 5 (ZeroUI, ZeroPipeline)
  • Core Guarantees: Pure C# software rasterizer, 0 unmanaged dependencies, cross-platform glTF/OBJ/STL/PLY model parsing.

Key Features

  • Pure CPU Software Rasterizer (SoftwareRasterizer):
    • Sub-pixel precision triangle rasterization using Barycentric coordinates.
    • 32-bit floating-point Z-Buffer (Depth Buffer) for accurate occlusion handling.
    • Flat and Gouraud normal-interpolated shading modes.
    • Bresenham 3D line drawing with depth testing.
    • Direct 32-bit BGRA byte array export (GetPixelBytes()) without GPU drivers.
  • 3D Point Cloud & Voxel Filtering (PointCloud3D):
    • Lightweight Point3D structure supporting coordinates, RGBA color keys, and surface normals.
    • Spatial VoxelGridFilter for fast 3D spatial downsampling and decimation of high-density LiDAR/sensor scans.
  • Pure C# 3D Mathematics (Math3D):
    • Vec3, Vec2, Mat4, Quat, Ray3D, Plane3D, Aabb3D with SIMD-ready layouts, Euler/Quaternion conversions, and fast ray intersections.
  • Multi-Format 3D Model Loaders (IO):
    • Stanford PLY (PlyLoader): Comprehensive ASCII & Binary Little-Endian parser with vertex colors, normals, and face index reconstruction.
    • glTF 2.0 & Binary GLB (GltfLoader): Full scene hierarchy, node transformations, materials, accessors, and embedded JSON tokenizer.
    • Wavefront OBJ (ObjLoader): Multi-group objects, vertex positions, normals, texture coordinates, and polygon fan triangulation.
    • Stereolithography STL (StlLoader): Binary and ASCII STL parsing and binary export for CAD/CAM and 3D printing.
    • Unified LoadAuto: Single entry-point automatic format detection and loading.
  • Camera System (Camera3D):
    • Perspective and Orthographic projection, screen-point-to-ray unprojection for mouse picking, 6-plane frustum extraction.
    • OrbitCameraController (Arcball/CAD inspector) and FlyCameraController (WASD walkthrough).
  • Hierarchical Scene Graph (Scene3D, SceneNode):
    • Transform inheritance (WorldTransform = LocalTransform * ParentWorld), hierarchical AABB bounds, recursive child search, and raycast picking.
  • Multi-Targeting: .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Framework 4.6.2, .NET 8.0+.
