3D Speed: Processing vs Flash
Nov 1st, 2009, 2:49pm  
Does anyone have or know of any data comparing 3D rendering speed between Processing and Flash/Flex/Papervision (or other 3D engine)? Or more generally, pros and cons of Processing vs Flash/Flex/Papervision for web-based 3D animation projects? Thanks. Smiley

Processing has two 3D rendering engines, P3D and OpenGL. OpenGL will be highly accelerated (or not) depending on the graphics hardware on the computer the software is running on. P3D has no hardware acceleration and is highly optimized, with less quality. Both will run in a browser, but running and OpenGL applet sometimes has problems. I'll leave the Papervision comparison to someone else.
