Flash is going to support 3D Images in future versions of Flash. This will allow 3d applications like games to run in a browser. The API will be shown at Adobe Max.

This news leaked trough the Schedule for the upcoming Adobe Max conference. On this schedule we find a presentation: “Flash Player 3D future”.

A blogpost by the Product manager at Adobe doesn’t clear anything up but it confirms the existence of the 3D Api.

“We will share plans with you at Max during this session, I tell you, some serious stuff is coming for 3D developers.

If you are also curious about the inner details of the Flash Player renderer, Lee Thomason (Flash Player architect) will delve into the details of the Flash Player renderer, and show how to optimize the rendering performance of your applications. Lee will cover mechanisms like the display list, text rendering, shaders, GPU hardware acceleration, and exclusive features coming in a future version of Flash Player (hehe).

After this session, Flash Player rendering will no longer be a mystery for you. This track called Deep Dive into Flash Player Rendering is scheduled on October 27 at 09:30AM in room 511A.

I will be happy to meet you there at Max in Los Angeles and talk about our future plans and also get your feedbacks about the player around a fresh beer. I will post further details about all this in the following weeks.”

It is a long wait but in October we will know more.
