title: How to make 3D models for Silverlight 5?
body: <p>I'am a .NET web developer, I really do not know anything about 3D yet. In Silverlight 5 3D API you draw stuff on the screen by code, no XAML for the 3D Objects/Models, I am wondering how 3D developers can make that cool sophisticated animated 3D games and scenes like the SL5 3D 'Windows Cafe' demo? which software is used to draw the model and make that light effects.. etc? how to import the models? how to animate them? I just want to know headlines/basics.</p>
  
  <p>Now in Silverlight 2D the practices are clear, we draw everything with Expression Blend/Design or import graphics from Adobe Illustrator as XAML, then we use code and/or SL built-in animations to animate the XAML elements. What are the equivalents to make 3D with Silverlight 5?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
