[Papervision3D] Papervision3D and Flash 10

[azupko at zupko.info]

If you watch the interview with Justin you'll see 1) It's not hardware
accelerated (at least not yet) and 2)this won't replace papervision at
all.  Papervision is a very robust 3d engine - allowing you to create
scenes, cameras, import models, etc.  All Astro is  offering is the
ability to rotate a movie/sprite over an additional axis - which has
little to do with real 3D.  The stuff that will make a bigger difference,
i would think, is stuff like native matrix support/transformation and
faster rendering.  Hydra could also open some doors for creating some
really amazing effects.

All in all - papervision will still rock.

just some thoughts...
