[Papervision3D] Hardware Acceleration in Flash

[Marco Bahn]

interesting OT, anyway, the way flash went by now is impressive. at  
the end what guys like 'us' really need is something like http:// 
unity3d.com or the torque engine from http://garagegames.com, which  
are fully featured gamedev environments where you have support for  
opengl and physics, etc... combined in an easy to use IDE and a  
simple scripting approach. and they are cross platform! and not to  
forget processing.

if adobe can make it to have the same for a cross platform browser  
plugin... would be wonderful and just pay back all the efforts i have  
spent since more than 8 yrs in this platform with sometimes  
ridicolous testing on weird bugs - i guess you know what i mean.

but at the end these limitations are the reason why guys like you  
keep on squeezing the last bit out of it and thats basicaly why it is  
similiar to the old demoscenes and why people enjoy working on it.
