SIMPLE 3D rendering in C#

I am a visual person, if I can visualize something it often makes more sense to me.

Is there a simple way to render data in 3D to use for simple visualizations? What I effectively would like to do is the following:

I have a 3 dimensional Array of Int32's:

Int32[,,] data = new Int32[256,256,256];

I fill this array with data, and would basically want to now ren开发者_如何学Pythonder this in a 3D space. X, Y and Z and place a dot where the data is greater than 0. Basic

Being able to change the viewing angle would be a bonus, but not essential.

I have not looked into 3D rendering enough to make use of any of the real 3D engines out there, so the simpler the better.

Any help, pointers would be nice.

Thanks

WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation, included in .net 3.5) makes 3D rendering quite easy (or at least easier than it was before). Have a look at the following tutorial:

It shows how to create a small 3D viewport and position simple elements inside.

Microsoft .Net Chart Control - download here. It's like using the 3D charting in Excel.
