HOOPS A.I.R. (Advanced Interactive Rendering) adds the highest quality photorealistic rendering to HOOPS applications. A.I.R. combines radiosity, raytracing, and scan line rendering methods to produce interactive photorealistic rendering.
The A.I.R. raytracer provides transparency, translucency, specular reflection, as well as texture, bump, and environment mapping. Radiosity provides fine diffuse shading and makes interactive photorealism possible.
A.I.R. shares HOOPS' unique strengths--portability across all major platforms, ease of declarative programing, and high-speed performance. HOOPS A.I.R. supports many hard-copy formats.
