[Papervision3D] performance flash 10 3d vs Papervision3d

[Steven Van Hissenhoven]

Hi all,

I recently got the chance to start on a flash player 10 project.
This project consists of an image wall that uses a 3d rotation  
(rotationY) animation while you are scrolling through the images.

Because of benchmarks I found on blogs about the new flash 10 3d  
engine vs Papervision3d and because of the little 3d that is used in  
the project I choose to develop it with the flash 10 3d engine.
But the performance is rather disappointing, it isn't running that  
smooth at all (even with hardware acceleration) . Maybe some of you  
have some tips to make the application run smoother?

I've already tested it with the flex profiler, but couldn't find any  
leaks. To reduce the amount of images on the stage I've implemented a  
tiling system. The wall still shows about 30 images of 400x400px. For  
these I use Bitmaps and BitmapData so I can easilly reuse them once  
they are loaded.

Thanks alot,

Steven
