2.8. Incorporating CS4
With the release of Flash Player 10, many improvements were made to the Flash Drawing AP1. Throughout this book, you find out about many of the improvements that can enhance your Papervision3D applications. The following list of changes have the potential for improving Papervision3D:
Vectors or typed arrays provide enhanced performance for the drawing API.
Perspective rendering is directly incorporated into triangle drawing and 3D transformation translation.
Powerful drawing methods are now part of the Flash display graphics packages, such as drawTriangles and drawPaths.
Bone animation capability through Inverse Kinematics.
UV mapping of textures onto 3D triangulated structures at runtime.
Non-zero winding rules for drawing a complex shape or gradients.
Shaders and Pixel Bender.
