RE: FLASH: Flash3, Toy or serious designer tool?

[Jean Dukate]

Just curious as to how possible it would be to add 3D support into

Flash? Utimately we are talking about some need of a rendering engine

inside of Flash. And if so render to what? Render to bitmap or vector?

If Flash renders to bitmap like every other 3D app how would this be any

better than just importing bitmaps from a 3D app to start with. So what

we really want is a render to vector. But so far I have yet to find any

3D app that has a render to vector capability. Sure there are some

programs that can simulate a simple extrusion by basically copying a

shape over and over. But I haven't seen any application at all that can

render a complex model into a shaded vector image. Has anyone else find

such a program?


Am I wrong that this technology to render a complex 3D model into vector

just doesn't exist as of yet. If it doesn't exist then what are the

realistic expectations of having 3D capabilities inside of Flash. Are

Flash designers going to be happy if Flash only renders 3D objects to

bitmap?
