Create your Lithophane from TGA via C#
Build your own .NET apps to create your lithophane from TGA files using server-side APIs.
Aspose.3D for .NET
Overview
How to Create your Lithophane from TGA File Using C#
In order to create your lithophane from TGA file, we’ll use
API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use API for C# platform to be used with create your lithophane. Open
package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.
Package Manager Console Command
PM> Install-Package Aspose.3D
Steps to Create your Lithophane from TGA via C#
Aspose.3D makes it easy for the developers to create your lithophane from the TGA file with just few lines of code.
- Create some new parameters and create a Mesh object
- Perform computational operations on Mesh objects
- TGA file loads 3d scene through Mesh class
- Call the Scene.Save method with object
System Requirements
Aspose.3D for .NET is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono
- Development environment like Microsoft Visual Studio
- Aspose.3D for .NET referenced in your project
C# code to Create your Lithophane from TGA
//The original image that needs to be uploaded and the 3d file output after saving
string file = "template.tga";
string output =System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".fbx";
//Create some new parameters
var td= TextureData.FromFile(file);
const float nozzleSize = 0.9f;//0.2mm
const float layerHeight = 0.2f;
var grayscale = ToGrayscale(td);
const float width = 120.0f;//canvas width is 200.0mm
float height = width / td.Width * td.Height;
float thickness = 10.0f;//10mm thickness
float layers = thickness / layerHeight;
int widthSegs = (int)Math.Floor(width / nozzleSize);
int heightSegs = (int)Math.Floor(height / nozzleSize);
//Perform computational operations on Mesh objects
var mesh = new Mesh();
for (int y = 0; y < heightSegs; y++)
{
float dy = (float)y / heightSegs;
for (int x = 0; x < widthSegs; x++)
