This is a very cool library which allows you to do augmented reality in Flash. The library is in an oriental which makes it quite hard to read. Hopefully someone might translate all the comment in the code. I can’t wait to be able to play with it.

There’s a new 3d engine in the place (Sharikura 3D Library) which was developed by http://www.roxik.com/. It’s a truly amazing piece of work. Go and check it out here. http://temp.roxik.com/datas/perform/index.html
Oh and by the way it’s the engine which was used to developed the really nice http://ecodazoo.com/ website. it feels so much lighter than Papervision3D.
Can wait for Roxik to release it…

FIVe3D is 3d engine for AS2 that uses the actionscript drawing API to draw the shapes as opposed to bitmap used in Papervision3d.

This is a new 3D engine for flash http://www.custommedia.co.nz/swfz-engine/
It uses rasterization. which is “real” 3D.
the following is lifted from the following page - http://www.custommedia.co.nz/2006/12/13/3d-in-flash/
Rasterization is a bit of a lost art, most modern games use DirectX or OpenGL to do the rendering side of things. Not that this is a bad thing, graphics cards are designed to support DirectX and or OpenGL so you end up with a very fast rendering pipeline. And as we know fast == good
Pros:
- True 3D with perspective
- Medium poly count
- Triangle clipping.
Cons:
- Execution time is slower, code has to do everything
- Small screen resolutions, this is due to BitmapData.setPixel() limits
