If you have the 8.5 player installed look at the speed
First up I did not make this. This is a 3d engine made by the guys at FLASHWORX but it really shows the speed improvements made in the new Virtual machine. I love this engine as it uses proper transformation matrix’s.
Note: to load the teapot you will have to zoom it in a bit using you mouse wheel.
Loading the teapot under version 7 player pretty much stalled my comp, now I can rotate it (just) but the ither examples work well.
now, are we supposed to see a performance difference between FP8 and FP8.5 for SWFs that weren’t published for FP8.5? I’m not seeing one on this example. I get about 1fps when I view the teapot (with hq and EOF) with both FP8 and FP8.5
Tick the EOF Render check box and move your mouse to the side (remember that spot) then try the same in FP8 I get an improvement of about 10FPS on the smaller models…the tea pot is a bit much. And you dont need to publish in FP8.5 to see the improvements; Check out http://www.idlehamster.com/archives/29 to see the improvments on a simple “while” loop. Hes seeing ” 1594% faster than the Flash 8 Standalone player. ” I think all the work they did on the Virtual machine shows straight away dont you? But I tell you what Ill try to make it in AS3 (and try is the operative word there) and maybe it willshow some changes.
Ok have just spent an hour transplanting the 3d engine into flex two and its alittle more complex than I had hoped. weeeeeeeee!!! I have read that they now rely on the “package” definitions of classes for a speed increase.
