HOOPS Communicator 2019 Significantly Improves Performance with New WebAssembly Rendering

Tech Soft 3D announces the release of HOOPS® Communicator 2019 software development toolkit, powerful technology for building advanced web-based engineering applications. HOOPS Communicator now uses WebAssembly for the core rendering component, which will lead to a drastic reduction in library size as well as performance improvements. The size of the main JavaScript (JS) library will be reduced by more than 50%, resulting in faster downloads and startup times for HOOPS Communicator-based applications.

In addition, HOOPS Communicator 2019 supports the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) Import for communicating coordination information associated to IFC models for Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) applications. This is a critical feature for those developing architectural engineering and construction (AEC) and building information modeling (BIM) applications. These tools provide a robust environment for visualization, query and navigation of construction models.

“Faster and better – these are the constant demands of both developers and users of engineering applications,” said Erik Hultgren, Product Manager Visualization Solutions, Tech Soft 3D. “We continue to enhance HOOPS Communicator with this in mind, and also focus on providing the highest quality graphics possible with today’s technology. No other toolkit can provide the kind of speed, quality and visual fidelity we know are expected when creating complex 3D engineering applications.”

Other improvements featured in HOOPS Communicator 2019 include shadow and reflection plane support, where the HOOPS Communicator viewer can optionally render ground-plane shadows and reflections that automatically update when the geometry changes, improving web graphics visualization. Further performance improvements have been made to shattered loading, where loading large 3D models on the web is faster than ever.
