saw this a while back, appologies if you’ve already seen it: [http://www.mx3d.com/preview/](http://www.mx3d.com/preview/) and [http://www.mx3d.com](http://www.mx3d.com) very impressive stuff, anyone know how they did it? the 3d engine I built a while back wouldn’t be able to handle nearly as many objects Mark 😛 ---

I think its all done in flash, there’ s nothing there that can’t be done with the right code but its the scale of things that gets me how did they get such a complex scene to run as quickly as that?? ---

just e-mailed them _edit_ just got this reply! \*\* Hi Olly, thanks! you´re right it´s actionscript… kind of… most parts are written in flash bytecode using flasm ([http://flasm.sourceforge.com](http://flasm.sourceforge.com)). I´m using portals and potential visibility sets, a technologie also used in quake, I think. Maybe this is going to evolve into a commercial library, will see. best Florian :: [mx3d.com](http://mx3d.com) :: Flash 3D Virtual Realities [http://www.mx3d.com](http://www.mx3d.com) [flash@mx3d.com](mailto:flash@mx3d.com) Bismarckstrasse 52-54 50672 Cologne Germany fon: +49 221 5008798 \*\* ---

hehe nice bit o’ detective work 😉 so flasm eh? that makes sense, it can make complex actionscript run up to twice as quick I think not sure what the portals bit is about… anyone? ---

i think he might be talking about using the 3D environments as a GUI. Eg: pictures in one room, downloads in another etc…
