RedSDK is becoming HOOPS Luminate with the release of our HOOPS Suite 2024 release in December 2023. Significant changes with this release are highlighted here for our existing RedSDK partners attention.

Changes of Note

Upgrade to HOOPS Luminate 2024

There is no obligation to upgrade to HOOPS Luminate 2024. Your current license will continue working. If you desire the benefit of bugs resolved after RedSDK 5.3, you are encouraged to upgrade to HOOPS Luminate.

Additionally, HOOPS Luminate 2024 becomes the officially supported release version. Older versions (of RedSDK) will not be updated. All bug fixes and enhancements will be released in subsequent versions of HOOPS Luminate 2024. This version will reach its end of life when it is replaced by the next major version (i.e. HOOPS Luminate 2025).

HOOPS Licensing

HOOPS Luminate 2024 introduces the following changes to licensing. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  • HOOPS Luminate requires a HOOPS license available from the https://developer.techsoft3d.com/start, if you don’t have it already. You may need to register a new account for Access to the NEW Developer Zone.

  • The license key provides access to all platforms and modules.

  • The key supports your current entitlements and components on your shipping platform(s).

HOOPS Luminate 2024 Packages

  • The Developer Zone provides one HOOPS Luminate package (i.e. zip archive) per platform. Download the package(s) of interest. The new packages are 100% compatible with the old ones. Extract the package into the appropriate location.

  • The full material library will not be initially available, when HOOPS Luminate 2024 is released. A sample library will be available. The full library will be available on the Developer Zone as quickly as possible. If you license the full library and need it right away, it can be downloaded from http://redway3d.com/ or contact us.

  • The package for Win32 is not available as this platform will be deprecated soon. If you require this package, please contact us.

  • The contents of the HOOPS Luminate package remains consistent with RedSDK. However, the Config Recommendation tool to check support for a specific graphic card and driver has been removed. This tool is largely obsolete with Windows driver compliance. Use the RedSDK 5.3 version of the tool, if necessary.

  • The product and package naming for this initial release will be “HOOPS Luminate 2024”. Internally, the (binary file) version will be 5.4 in keeping with the RedSDK version numbering. In a subsequent release, this internal version will adopt the HOOP Suite numbering and be consistent with the product and package numbering.
