ZAM 3D is a full-featured 3D modeling application that enables easy creation, customization and animation of 3D interface elements for “Avalon" based applications. Once a 3D scene is created, ZAM 3D automatically generates the XAML (eXtensible Application Markup Language) markup necessary to convert the 3D elements into an “Avalon” 3D scene. XAML files created with ZAM 3D can be directly integrated into your application development environment to create rich and engaging user experiences never before possible.

This preview build of ZAM 3D supports and only works with the March 2005 release of Microsoft Avalon CTP build and SDK specification only, and DOES NOT support the previously released PDC, WinHEC, or Nov 2004 CTP preview builds of Longhorn or Windows XP. So make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest CTP release of Avalon available through MSDN Subscriber downloads before installing ZAM 3D.
