I have my custom 3D model class (Model) which contains Visual3D element and a Storyboard
(sb) to hold animations related to that model. I'm trying to rotate the Visual3D element using the Storyboard
but unfortunately it's not working.
Here is the code snippet
public void AnimationRotate(Model model, double duration, double startTime, RepeatBehavior behaviour)
{
//Rotate transform 3D
RotateTransform3D rotateTransform = new RotateTransform3D();
//assign transform to the model
model.Visual3D.Transform = Transform3DHelper.CombineTransform(model.Visual3D.Transform, rotateTransform);
//define the rotation axis
AxisAngleRotation3D rotateAxis = new AxisAngleRotation3D(new Vector3D(0, 0, 1), 180);
//create 3D rotation animation
Rotation3DAnimation rotateAnimation = new Rotation3DAnimation(rotateAxis, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5));
//rotation behaviour
rotateAnimation.RepeatBehavior = behaviour;
//start animation from time
rotateAnimation.BeginTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(startTime);
//begin animation - THIS WORKS FINE
// rotateTransform.BeginAnimation(RotateTransform3D.RotationProperty, rotateAnimation);
Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(rotateAnimation, new PropertyPath(RotateTransform3D.RotationProperty));
Storyboard.SetTarget(rotateAnimation, rotateTransform);
//add animation to the storyboard of the model
model.sb.Children.Add(rotateAnimation);
//BUT THIS APPROACH IS NOT WOKRING
model.sb.Begin();
}
