I use WTK every day, but I feel I must disagree slightly here. Their
products are good, but both packages I've used have had
problems. Currently, their WTK for NT still displays objects when the
lights are turned out (a fault supposedly fixed according to
documentation) and the fogging function does not update the position
of the fog as the viewpoint moves. Technical support is ropy at best,
I've been waiting for 2 weeks now for a reply after UK tech support
forwarded the problem to the US, and they seem to take some requests
for help as a personal insult!
