Welcome! Thank you for considering HOOPS Visualize for your project! This website is the main source of documentation for HOOPS Visualize. It will introduce you to the HOOPS Visualize HPS package, guide you through getting your first geometry on the screen, and provide a good foundation for getting started with the product. In this section, you'll set your :doc:`license key <licensing>`, learn what the :doc:`package contains <package_contents>`, and load a model in one of our pre-compiled sandbox applications. You'll also get a basic overview of our component framework integrations and the process for troubleshooting and problem solving with our support team. The bulk of the learning material can be found in our :doc:`Programming Guide </prog_guide/0101_database>`, and each class and function is documented in the :doc:`API Reference Manual </api_ref/cpp/index>`.

If you are an evaluator of HOOPS Visualize, please review the pages in this section to discover what the API is capable of. When you're ready to start learning how to use the product, please start with our series of basic :doc:`tutorials </guides/01_fundamentals>`. The API is further detailed in the :doc:`Programming Guide </prog_guide/0101_database>`. We also have :doc:`sample code </guides/sample_code>` available as part of this document.
