Exploring Clip Property of UIelement to Make Animation in WPF
Every UIelement has a Property named clip, which is Geometry type. You can set any geometry used to define the outline of the contents of an element. Only the area that is within the region of the geometry will be visible. Portion of UIelement outside the geometry will be visually clipped in the rendered layout. Using Clip property of UIelement in WPF, you can do lots of animation. I think it is a powerful way of doing animation. Possibilities are endless. You can do most geometrical type of animation in 2D using this technique. I have just published an article about this technique.

Perspective camera animation on a cube in WPF 3D
I have started WPF 3D at my work. Actually, i wanted to make roll animation effect using WPF 3D. After some R&D, I came up with roll animation using 2D animation, which I described in my previous blog post. At first, I tried to make roll animation using perspective camera rotation. For that, I have made a sample program, which I am discussing in this blog post. In this sample program, a 3D cube rotates along the y-axis. The animation looks like the following:

This animation starts from a line, which points from the centre to top middle, and then it rotates 360 degrees in clockwise direction and makes the underlying object visible. I know one picture can tell what is the animation looks like instead of writing many sentences. The animation looks like the following:

Remora Pattern by Ben Constable
According to Ben Constable, Remora Pattern allows you to attach a chunk of logic to any existing element that you have. This pattern can be implemented using an Attached Dependency Property in WPF. Here an Attached Dependency Property is attached with an object. When the object is initiated, it goes to set the value of the Attached Dependency Property, which results in calling an Attached Dependency Property Change event. In the event handler, you can add your intended functionality, which is the additional functionality of the object.
