VaporVision3D

I have published VaporVision3D for this year's April fool. I am writing articles about 3D representation on Flash from scratch, so this VaporVision3D does not depend on Papervision3D or such 3D graphics framework.

I do not think that Reinvention of the Wheel has no meaning, but reinvention of 3-D graphcis framework is a heavy task. Who want to use 3D graphics on Flash should use Papervision3D or such however implementing 3D engine gives you lots of experiences. But I am seriously interested in performance problems on 3D engines. It is a well-known fact that drawing of FlashPlayer is very slow. What we can do is to reduce drawing. For now, my articles intentionally cut performance problems for simplicity. The time to argue the problems will come soon.
