“By harnessing the power of Direct3D, developers can address the growing performance demands of technical computing, take advantage of the latest graphics hardware innovations and ultimately provide customers with a superior experience on Windows Vista. We’re excited to participate with Tech Soft 3D and eager to communicate the value of using HOOPS to get the most out of Direct3D and Windows Vista.”
