Hi All,

If I have a Viewport3D in WPF is it possible for it to have a transparent background? So say I overlay the viewport3D on top of my window content and render only a small cube in the middle, everything behind it to be visible? With all my experiments so far the background is white!

Thanks in advance!

Yeah you can, just set all relevant backgrounds (your 3D viewport, and the window) to Transparent and make sure the window has these properties set:

WindowStyle="None" AllowsTransparency="True"

Hope this helps,
