3D Flash Engines

Away 3D | PaperVision 3D | Sandy | Tutorials

3D Flash is a rising movement among Flash artists who wish to depict three-dimensional (3D) animations using Adobe Flash, which is primarily a 2D authoring environment. The industry leader is the company Electric Rain, which uses the proprietary RAViX engine in its flagship Swift3D software. This product can convert models created using the built-in Swift 3D editor, or other professional 3D editing programs such as 3D Studio Max or Lightwave 3D, to 2D elements understood by Macromedia Flash and the SWF file format.

Some developers have implemented their own algorithms, making use of the wealth of trigonometric and programmatic functions offered by ActionScript utilized in the SWF format. Although some implementations have been greatly successful, the industry standard remains that of Swift3D. Wikipedia

Below are various 3D Flash engines and some of their respective demos. Unlike Electric Rain, all of the below applications are free. One last note, be sure to use your mouse on the demos. Enjoy!
