Title: Stage3D stress test
Post by: JRS on July 18, 2013, 09:04:05 PM

This is very impressive for a web/Flash application. I haven't seen 3D OpenGL on a PC run this well.

I'm surprised no one has commented on this.  ???

Hi John, This might appear to be be a stress test but if fact, the CPU is doing little more then specifying the location and orientation of each torus. The Graphics card does 99.9% of the work in this scene.

A more significant stress test would involve dynamic morphing shapes, multiple transparent objects, shadow casting, etc, as these demand more CPU computation.

Thanks Charles for the explanation.

Either way, this demo should make people think twice about HTML5 being the only answer to interactive web content.

I hope they have a stable 3D system now. I did quite a lot of work using x3d (iso-certified XML extension of VRML), only to  find the browser plug-in for this system vaporise about 2 years later.

What I mean is HTML5 isn't the only answer to interactive web content. I used Flash extensively when doing the virtual tour gig after Quicklime became a viral mess. Java applets took a huge hit as a security violations which drastically reduced the viewing audience. Amazing how the industry can one day create itself as the next thing and overnight kill it off. (for someones something better)
