Piss on it. Use vector/quad mapping to trace the graphics in Director,
or just use an Xtra to render the 3d realtime from 3dsMax imports.

Or drop all MACR products and use engines which meet your precise
rendering needs realtime.

It's all linear in flash, yes?

Problem is that 3d is not linear. To do it you need other tools. So the
question of the best 3d in flash is kinda moot, since there really is
nothing like optimal 3d in flash, right?

This is not to disparage flash. But the question of who does a better 3d
render in it is just damn stupid, since flash is not the shell to use
for 3d animations. Sort of like asking if a Honda Accord can handle a
40-ton load better than a Toyota Tercel.

Only an idiot would try to put 40 tons on either vehicle to begin with.

Hey, if you're gonna flame, at least direct it toward an asbestos icon.
