Building Advanced 3D Animations with Silverlight 2.0

"I think the best way to come to grips with a new technology is to have a little fun with it. So when the Silverlight 1.1 alpha was released and I saw the exciting presentation by Tim Sneath at the IMT conference in Dublin, I decided to throw together a little educational application demonstrating how various 3D shapes (called polyhedra) can be assembled by folding a flat template. Silverlight doesn't support 3D by default, so this involved building an emulation of the DirectX® math libraries to do the 3D stuff."
