# How to: Create a 3D Scene
This example shows how to create a 3D object that looks like a flat sheet of paper which has been rotated. A <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Viewport3D> along with the following components are used to create this simple 3D scene:
- A camera is created using a <xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.PerspectiveCamera>. The camera specifies what part of the 3D scene is viewable.
- A mesh is created to specify the shape of 3D object (sheet of paper) using the <xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D.Geometry%2A> property of <xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D>.
- A material is specified to be displayed on the surface of the object (linear gradient in this sample) using the <xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D.Material%2A> property of <xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.GeometryModel3D>.
- A light is created to shine on the object using <xref:System.Windows.Media.Media3D.DirectionalLight>.
