HOOPS Visualize Visualization, Essential for 3D Modeling, Presents Challenges to Application Developers Graphics development requires unique capabilities, different from 3D modeling Some platform specific solutions or internally developed solutions limit 3D application success Quality or performance significantly affects users experience HOOPS Visualize Enables 3D Application Developers to Focus on Innovation Proven, high-quality graphic capabilities allow developers to focus on core-competencies and add competitive differentiation to their product Robust support for both OpenGL and Direct3D, as well as leading graphics cards, removes limitations for most 32and 64-bit platforms Industry leading technology to create a competitive advantage for your application HOOPS Visualize is the industry’s most powerful, portable and complete graphics development component for creating or enhancing 3D applications. HOOPS Visualize helps developers accelerate the development of high-performance 3D applications for desktop, cloud or mobile applications using the high-level graphics APIs that power applications in CAD/CAM/ CAE, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), manufacturing, and many other markets. HOOPS Visualize Simplifies 3D Graphics Applications Development Internal development of a graphics engine often occurs in tandem with the application itself - over time becoming so intertwined that it is difficult and costly, if not impossible, to maintain and enhance. In contrast, HOOPS Visualize provides developers with a clear, well documented API, making a HOOPS-based application much easier to develop, maintain and enhance. HOOPS Visualize Expands Hardware and Platform Coverage In order to maximize market reach, applications must perform well on a wide array of hardware platforms. HOOPS provides this coverage by optimally driving both OpenGL and Direct3D. This dual driver support is vital to broad hardware coverage since OpenGL remains the optimal graphics acceleration approach on some Windows hardware and all non-Windows platforms, while DirectX is significantly better on more recent Windows hardware. In addition to this OpenGL/DirectX coverage, HOOPS also provides platform flexibility, running Windows, Linux and several UNIX platforms. HOOPS Visualize Delivers the Graphics Quality Users Expect With most 3D applications focusing heavily on visual realism as a competitive differentiator, the end-users’ graphics expectations have increased dramatically. HOOPS gives developers the tools to effectively compete by easily adding advanced visual capabilities such as shadowing, textures, transparency, gooch rendering and other shader-based effects.
