However, sometimes it can be desirable to create markup that is part of the 3D scene. This allows it to be occluded by other 3D objects and also makes the markup geometry selectable as part of the standard HOOPS Communicator selection mechanism. The SpriteManager class below is a fairly straightforward implementation…
