[comp.graphics] HOOPS

sg04@GTE.COM (Steven Gutfreund) (11/17/89)

I have a need to do some solid modeling on a SparcStationIGX. I have been
looking at HOOPS, SunPhigs, DI3000. I don't like DI3000 and prefer the
simplicity of HOOPS to SunPhigs. Does anyone have any particular opinions
on 3d packages. Also, it may become necessary for us to do some volume
visualization (direct & ray traced) or other more sophisticated work -
any suggestions on packages that can help (in addition to the custom
work I assume we will have to do). I guess what I am looking for is
something like GL or XGL for scientific/volume visualization.
