Tech Soft 3D - developer.hoops3d.com

Our goal is to help developers maximize the use of HOOPS features in their products. In order to do this, every few months our developers write white papers highlighting a feature of HOOPS and how to implement it in your code.

The new white paper is published in conjunction with and announced in our quarterly e-newsletter, HOOPS Scene. If you would like to find out immediately when a new white paper is posted, sign for our HOOPS Scene Newsletter in the column on the right.

If there is a subject you would like to see our developers tackle, please let us know by contacting rob@techsoft3d.com.
