Examples

The following example shows how to add 3D shape in PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
// Create an instance of Presentation class.
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
	// Add a shape using AddAutoShape method
    IAutoShape shape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 200, 150, 200, 200);
	// Define TextFrame and its properties
    shape.TextFrame.Text = "3D";
    shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].ParagraphFormat.DefaultPortionFormat.FontHeight = 64;
	// Define ThreeDFormat Properties
    shape.ThreeDFormat.Camera.CameraType = CameraPresetType.OrthographicFront;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.Camera.SetRotation(20, 30, 40);
    shape.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.LightType = LightRigPresetType.Flat;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.Direction = LightingDirection.Top;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.Material = MaterialPresetType.Flat;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.ExtrusionHeight = 100;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.ExtrusionColor.Color = Color.Blue;
    pres.Slides[0].GetThumbnail(2, 2).Save("sample_3d.png");
	// Save the Presentation file
    pres.Save("sandbox_3d.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

The following example shows how to apply Gradient affect to 3D shape in PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
// Create an instance of Presentation class.
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
	// Add a shape using AddAutoShape method
     IAutoShape shape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 200, 150, 250, 250);
	// Define TextFrame and its properties
    shape.TextFrame.Text = "3D Gradient";
    shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].ParagraphFormat.DefaultPortionFormat.FontHeight = 64;
	// Configure FillFormat.FillType as FillType.Gradient and define gradient properties
	shape.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Gradient;
    shape.FillFormat.GradientFormat.GradientStops.Add(0, Color.Blue);
    shape.FillFormat.GradientFormat.GradientStops.Add(100, Color.Orange);
	// Define ThreeDFormat Properties
    shape.ThreeDFormat.Camera.CameraType = CameraPresetType.OrthographicFront;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.Camera.SetRotation(20, 30, 40);
    shape.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.LightType = LightRigPresetType.Flat;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.Direction = LightingDirection.Top;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.Material = MaterialPresetType.Flat;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.ExtrusionHeight = 100;
    shape.ThreeDFormat.ExtrusionColor.Color = Color.Blue;
    pres.Slides[0].GetThumbnail(2, 2).Save("sample_3d.png");
	// Save the Presentation file
    pres.Save("sandbox_3d.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

The following example shows how to apply 3D effect on text. For creating a 3D text its possible to use WordArt transform effect.

[C#]
// Create an instance of Presentation class.
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
	// Add a shape using AddAutoShape method
     IAutoShape shape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 200, 150, 250, 250);
	// Define TextFrame and its properties
    shape.TextFrame.Text = "3D Text";
	// Configure FillFormat.FillType as FillType.NoFill
	shape.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.NoFill;
    shape.LineFormat.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.NoFill;
	// Configure Portion of TextFrame and configure properties of PortionFormat
	Portion portion = (Portion)shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0];
    portion.PortionFormat.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Pattern;
    portion.PortionFormat.FillFormat.PatternFormat.ForeColor.Color = Color.DarkOrange;
    portion.PortionFormat.FillFormat.PatternFormat.BackColor.Color = Color.White;
    portion.PortionFormat.FillFormat.PatternFormat.PatternStyle = PatternStyle.LargeGrid;
	shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].ParagraphFormat.DefaultPortionFormat.FontHeight = 128;
    ITextFrame textFrame = shape.TextFrame;
    // setup "Arch Up" WordArt transform effect
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.Transform = TextShapeType.ArchUp;
	// Define ThreeDFormat Properties of ITextFrame
	textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.ExtrusionHeight = 3.5f;
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.Depth = 3;
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.Material = MaterialPresetType.Plastic;
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.Direction = LightingDirection.Top;
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.LightType = LightRigPresetType.Balanced;
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.LightRig.SetRotation(0, 0, 40);
    textFrame.TextFrameFormat.ThreeDFormat.Camera.CameraType = CameraPresetType.PerspectiveContrastingRightFacing;
    pres.Slides[0].GetThumbnail(2, 2).Save("text3d.png");
	// Save the Presentation file
     pres.Save("text3d.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
