WpfModel3DGroupNode Class

WpfModel3DGroupNode represents a WPF's Model3DGroup as a SceneNode and can render the Model3DGroup with DXEngine. WpfModel3DGroupNode creates child SceneNode objects from the Children of the Model3DGroup. It can dynamically add new SceneNodes or remove them to reflect the changes in the Model3DGroup.
