How to: Apply a Drawing to a 3D Model

This example shows how to use a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush as the xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.Material applied to a 3D model.

The following code defines a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingGroup as the content of a xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush. The xref:System.Windows.Media.DrawingBrush is set as the xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.DiffuseMaterial.Brush%2A property of the xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.DiffuseMaterial applied to a 3D plane.

Note

It is often desirable to define complex objects and values like the drawing below as resources which can be reused and simplify your code. See XAML Resources for more information.
