XAML Exporter for Blender by Daniel Lehenbauer

The XAML export script for Blender allows the popular free 3D modeler to be used to create content for WPF applications. 3D scenes created in Blender are exported to .xaml files which can be dynamically loaded or compiled into your WPF applications.

Maya To XAML by Thomas Goddard

This plug-in allows designers to create compelling 3D user interfaces in Maya and export to XAML, the next generation application GUI markup language for windows and the web. Objects created in Maya can be used as hit targets, windows forms controls, and more. Because the objects are kept as vector data in the interface, the user can scale the entire application and keep the same look and feel. Look for future export features like animation, mesh optimization, xml formatting, and the ability to specify the WPF target type template for Maya objects.

Aurora by MOBIFORM Software

Aurora XAML Designer is a customizable authoring and design toolkit for embedding into .NET applications as a WPF control for developing user interfaces and graphics for Windows desktop and web applications. Aurora has a full object model allowing for programmatically generating graphics on the design surface. Developers can access the XAML document tree, toolbars, menu, property panel items and even embed their own WPF components.

Aurora generates the XAML markup required by Visual Studio® for developing .NET 3.5 applications. Aurora authors traditional style dialog boxes and windows using common controls and works in multiple layers like many graphics design products. Aurora has a gallery of royalty-free clip art, supports 2D vector graphics and has powerful brush options for specifying linear, radial, visual, image and video brushes. Unlike some design products and export plug-ins that produce markup completely as paths, the output from Aurora XAML Designer is optimized so that the individual graphics can be easily integrated with .NET code-behind.
