Nicolas Cannasse has written a 3D engine for flash 10. I have ported this code to neko and c++ using the neash library.
To test the code, first extract the contents of the zip and then look in the bin directory. Double click the h3d.exe or h3d_ogl.bat files to run the c++ version (the h3d\_ogl.bat uses opengl, the other version uses the software renderer). You can see the flash version from the .html file (note: you will need flash player 10). You can run the neko if you have the haxelib version of nme installed by running “neko h3d.n”. All the source files are there in case you want to do some mods.
I have changed the mouse-look scheme from the original code to keep things a bit more centred. Move the mouse left/right to spin the objects, move it up/down to raise or lower the camera. You can use ‘w’ key for wireframe and the ‘p’ key for shading effects.
On my faster computer, I get about 100fps for the opengl renderer, 80fps for the software renderer, 40fps for the flash10 renderer, and 1fps for the neko/software renderer. There are some optimisations that could be done for the neash API, but really significant improvements could be gained by moving some of the engine into c++ code.
Currently, it is windows only. You can get it here.
Update:
There were reports of preformance loss in opengl, and I think I may have traced it to excessive texture transactions due to the text in the status panel. To work around this, I have cached the text as glyph bitmaps (doing this was on my todo list) which seems to have helped. (This update is in the svn version of neash). I have also added a command-line switch to use a simple fps counter instead of the status panel. You can try this out with the h3d\_ogl\_simple.bat command, In the new download.
