 Thanks for the extra information necromanthus . You are right, 
Papervision-Flash is not the ultimate 3D experience but my point was how flash 
is getting into 3D world. This PaperVision attempt could be just the beginning.

 Papervision is nothing more than a nice try. Here are his grandpa and his 
father:

 http://necromanthus.com/Games/Flash/3D/flash3d.html (flash 7 AS2 - this 
example is two years old)
 http://lab.andre-michelle.com/raycaster-v3 (flash v9 AS3).

 Flash 3D is trying for over 2 years to kick the market. Without any success ...
 The main reason is the poor global performances of the 3D emulation.
 AS3 is quite fast, but obviously not faster enough for this task.
 To get a decent frame rate in Flash 3D in case of 10,000 polys you need a 
[b]Core 2 Extreme[/b] and [b]DDR3-1333[/b].
 The VideoCard almost doesn't count in Flash, and do you know why?
 Because there is no a [b]real[/b] 3D engine (DirectX or OpenGL) to use it.
