With these details in mind, you're ready to begin creating your first 3D scene.

Adding Assembly References

Silverlight's 3D support is divided among a handful of assemblies, but eventually you'll need to add references to all of them. They include the following:

System.Windows.Xna.dll: This assembly defines core types like the DrawingSurface control and the GraphicsDeviceManager that manages it.

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll: This assembly includes the XNA versions of the Color and Rectangle structures. It also includes the Microsoft XNA–powered audio support you considered in Chapter 12.

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.dll: This assembly includes a number of core drawing types, including GraphicsDevice, through which you perform all your 3D drawing on the DrawingSurface.

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Extensions.dll: This assembly includes more essential drawing ingredients. This includes the BasicEffect class, which wraps a number of drawing details and provides a simple, hard-coded pixel shader so you don't need to write it yourself.

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Shaders.dll: This assembly includes the PixelShader and VertexShader classes that let you load your own shaders, provided you have the compiled HLSL (High Level Shader Language) code.

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Math.dll: This class includes basic ingredients for 3D calculations with points and matrices, such as Vector3 and Matrix.
