Developing Next-Generation Games with Stage3D (Molehill)
The document discusses various lighting and rendering techniques in game development, emphasizing concepts such as deferred lighting, shadow mapping, and screen space ambient occlusion. It also touches on the integration of C/C++ code in Flash via Alchemy, the use of the Bullet physics engine, and the management of 3D assets in Flash 11. Additionally, it highlights different frameworks and tools available for 3D development in Flash, incorporating real-time effects and optimizing performance.

- 53. Flash CPU • Why – Single-threaded • How – Azoth • Easy to debug (Breakpoints) • What – Scene partitioning – Particle transformation
- 54. Alchemy • Alchemy allowsC and C++ code to run in the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2). • The C/C++ code is converted to AS3 using a special compiler, and then built into a SWC. • This enables the porting of several existing solid and proven libraries. • The compiler also performs a lot of optimization to make the code run faster by using fast memory access.

- 57. What is Bullet •Physics engine • Simple – Dynamic and static volume and mesh – Apply force and impulse – Generate collision callback – Character controller • But also – Dynamic constraint – Clothing – More…
- 58. Bullet Physics • OpenSource • Who uses Bullet? Games Movies Software Grand Theft Auto IV Megamind Blender Red Dead Redemption Bolt Softimage Free Realms 2012 Irrlicht

- 67. What is Pyro •It’s user friendly • It manage properties such as: – Life, number, size, velocity, weight, spin, motion rand – Wind, Angular velocity, attraction, zoom, visibility, tint – Sub-Emiters and a lot more! • Support variation over time of properties • « Per title » License

- 70. From Flash toFlash 3D • There is no such thing as Display List Management • There is no time line – No clip animation – No script on frames – No label and dispatch – No gotoAndPlay() • No library – No exported symbol – No centralized asset list • Testing collision is a bit more difficult than the DisplayObject.HitTest()
- 71. From Flash toFlash3D • Several 3D frameworks already exist for Flash 11: – Alternativa – Minko – Flare3D – Away3D – Yogurt3D – Frima Icefield. • There are also several existing Flash helpers (Flash.MathUtils, Flash.Math.Utils3d) • Concepts you will need to learn: – 3D space coordinates – Object transformation using Matrix3D and Vector3D – Shaders open new door to wonderful effects
- 72. From 3D toFlash 3D • FP11 targets desktops, tablets and mobiles! – API limited to OpenGL ES 2.0 definition – Limit of 200 shader instructions – Limited shader instructions (no branching, no MAD, etc.) • Overhead on Change Target (20%) – Auto MipMapping – Loss of depth • Anti-aliasing only on BackBuffer • Only support 8-bit textures (HDR) • No MRT
- 73. From Anyone toFlash3D • Single-threaded • No mouse lock (FPS) • Limited keyboard in fullscreen • Streamable content (Web-based) – Files download weight – Load only when needed – Limited browser cache – Async resource loading • Can use the regular Flash 2D interfaces
- 74. Tech Demo Reel •Show all interesting elements • Very short video of each • “Epic music”
- 75. You might ask •Why not using Unity ? • What about HTML5 ? • Alchemy is still beta, would you consider using it in production? • Are you single ?
