Hi All .I updated the performance benchmark article which compares now 4 different Flash Player 10 based 3D engines.
Alternativa3D test is updated and now has also lights integrated.

Here is the link:

Have fun.

Good Job.
How come Away3D Performance only half of Alternativa3D !!!?

I remember seeing this post in the google forums a while back…. Here are my results:

For me - all set to:

Drop down 1 - shader
Drop down 2 - 300fps
Drop down 3 - 343 prims
Drop down 4 - Best

Away3D:
4/300

Flare3D:
14/300

Alternativa:
10/300

Noob3D:
29/300 (almost crashed browser plugin before starting it though)

Browser: Google Chrome (latest)

Flash Player: 10.3.181.14 (debug) - non debug is faster remember.

If I remember from the reply post I did on the google group, results will vary between browsers also…

Rig:
2.8GHz i7
10GB DDR3
GTX 570 - Normal clocked

Just remember Away3D
Updates are a lot more frequent…
Access to very active google group and forum…
Away3Ds productivity is a lot better…
it’s free

Want more juice? Check out Away3D Lite (FP10 as you already know)

Noob3D very impressive though… Esp with Z sorting.

Long live Rapid Application Development (RAD).

Love that mini map demo, nice work

Hi Guys.Glad to see you like the benchmark. In fact every time I update it I get a flood of clicks in my blog .Yes ,NOOB3D is cool.In fact I didn’t know about its existence till the creator contacted me and suggested to add it to the benchmark.It performs really good but as you can see there are two major flows :Memory footprint (just look at the stats). Geometry initialization time and memory management.If they resolve those issues the can claim then to be at the top of the best (after Away3D of course   ) .

BTW I upgraded TheMiniMap component.If the previous one behaved like one in Unreal Tournament 3 this version is more like the Radar Map in GTA.It behaves like compass always showing the forward direction of the controller.

The task was not so simple and I have never thought 2D math can be as complex as 3D ,but it works perfectly .Will upload soon.

Cheers.
