HOOPS
The HOOPS 3D Application Framework (HOOPS/3dAF), developed by Tech Soft America and resold by Spatial, provides the core graphics infrastructure and functionality for many of today's leading 3D applications, including CAD/CAM/CAE, engineering, visualization, and simulation. With HOOPS/3dAF, you work from a high level to quickly and effectively develop and maintain high performance custom applications. By incorporating HOOPS/3dAF into your software development strategy, you can optimize R&D costs, maximize development resources, and decrease time-to-market.

Fast and Flexible Development
HOOPS/3dAF is a mature, robust application framework that is continually updated to keep pace with the ever-changing software market. The result is a flexible component suite with impressive graphics functionality that provides the base you need for fast development and timely market release of your application. Using an extendable, modular, and open architecture, HOOPS/3dAF offers full Application Programming Interface (API) access to a powerful underlying suite of integrated components for maximum customization. The HOOPS/3dAF package also includes Reference Applications with readable source code to help speed development.
Choose Your Platform and Tools
HOOPS/3dAF is a toolkit designed to work on multiple platforms for both 32-bit and many 64-bit platform configurations. It is supported on major Windows, UNIX, MAC OS X, and Linux platforms. HOOPS/3dAF comes integrated with common user interface tools for desktop applications, or you can choose to deploy it as an ActiveX Control. The HOOPS/3dAF suite also includes programming bindings for Python, Java (for selected components), C, C++, and FORTRAN.
Performance and Advanced Capabilities
HOOPS/3dAF isn't just a shortcut to market - it enables you to develop applications with advanced 2D and 3D graphics functionality. HOOPS/3dAF features full unicode font support, accurate, vector-based hardcopy, sophisticated selection algorithms, an animation engine and advanced color interpolation capabilities. The suite tightly integrates with geometric modeling engines to enable development of graphic-rich 3D modeling applications. HOOPS/3dAF includes many large model visualization capabilities such as levels-of-detail, occlusion culling, and more, which means that your application will provide real-time rendering and interaction with your data regardless of its complexity.
