Alternativa – The Flash 3D Engine to Watch

13 Jun

Papervision is great – Its exploding across then Rich Multimedia Flash design community. But my big criticism with it (in its current form) is loading time – sites just take too long.

Now – check out Alternativa’s Engine demos: http://www.alternativaplatform.com/en/alternativa3d/

This new company have developed an open-source engine that blows papervision away in terms of loading speed and performance – check out the Bunker demo an notice how the rest of the level’s textures stream whilst you play. I believe that this engine is the one to watch, and with their proposed Windows-based object management system, there’s a chance that designers may be able to use it (not just hard-core programmers).

Oh, and check out the “Flat” demo on the above page – you can use a spraycan to vandalise the walls!
