1) Can I use all or part of the HOOPS Desktop Platform to build an application that is cloud-based?
The HOOPS Desktop Platform offering is restricted to use within desktop environments. However, the individual HOOPS components that comprise the HOOPS Desktop Platform may be licensed individually for use in both desktop and cloud environments.
2) What if I just need one or two of the elements of functionality of the platforms: visualization, data access or 3D publishing?
Each individual HOOPS toolkit product – HOOPS Visualize, HOOPS Exchange, HOOPS Publish and HOOPS Communicator – are available for individual licensing.
However, the nature of the platform licensing is to make it more cost effective to move to the platform licensing as soon as there is a need for the capabilities of more than one of the platform component technologies.
3) How can I determine which of the HOOPS offerings are best for me?
To help developers choose the right set of tools, you can talk with a member of our Consulting Engineering team, as well as compare your requirements to the capability matrix.
4) Is HOOPS Cloud Platform the only way to get access to HOOPS Visualize for mobile?
In addition to being part of the HOOPS Cloud Platform, the HOOPS Visualize for mobile platforms capability is available when you license HOOPS Visualize as an individual product.
5) I see your product set includes Parasolid and Polygonica. Do these modeling kernels work with either or both of the platforms?
These leading kernels for solid and mesh-based modeling can be integrated with HOOPS Cloud Platform and HOOPS Desktop Platform, and are also available for licensing from Tech Soft 3D as stand-alone offerings.
6) How are the HOOPS Desktop and HOOPS Cloud Platforms licensed?
Developers pay a quarterly “Partnership Fee” that provides access to all relevant technologies, ongoing enhancements and dedicated engineer-to-engineer support. A “shared-success” revenue-sharing model is also available, which is shaped to fit your unique business model. A Tech Soft 3D Partner Manager will be happy to discuss your situation and provide an answer for your specific usage.
7) How can I learn more?
The best way to start is with a conversation with members of our Partner and Consulting Engineering Teams. Once we understand your requirements, we will gladly arrange to get you a trial version and provide engineering support as you build a prototype. Visit our Talk to an Expert page to connect with us.
