"CAESAR II users expect us to constantly raise the bar in all areas, including graphic display performance," commented Thomas J. Van Laan, PE, President/CEO of COADE. "This recent improvement is yet another example of the benefits we have realized using HOOPS technology over the years. Our collaboration with TS3D continues to bear fruit," Van Laan stated, "and we are pleased with the ongoing optimization and the innovation that HOOPS allows us to deliver in end user value and satisfaction."
"A key strategic focus of our recent HOOPS development has been performance -- particularly with the large and complex models that CAESAR II is capable of handling. Our R&D in this area has proven to be very exciting as well as productive -- so users of HOOPS-based applications such as COADE's CAESAR II can expect even more impressive speed gains in upcoming releases," added Ron Fritz, TS3D's Managing Partner.
About HOOPS
HOOPS is a set of extensible, high-level components that dramatically simplifies the design, development and maintenance of high-performance, interactive 2D/3D applications. HOOPS components provide the technology building blocks for developers to create custom, high performance applications capable of driving both OpenGL and/or Direct3D. Developers work from a high level to extend and customize the HOOPS framework, taking advantage of the power of the underlying set of libraries. Rather than attempting to re-invent the vast functionality already encapsulated within the HOOPS product set, developers can focus their development efforts on their true value-add and build better software faster.
