With Adobe’s new Stage3D “Molehill” stuff getting all awesome and whatnot lately, I decided to check out some of the other API’s that support it. I initially started messing around with Away3D’s APIs cause they were the first ones to come out with them, but now there are a lot more. I have a Papervision background, and Away3D is by far the closest you will get to Papervision, but I figured I should still try out some of the others.

Alternativa3D 8 is what was used to make the Adobe MAX Racer demo, so obviously I wanted to play around with this for awhile, but like I said, Away3D beat them to the punch with releasing an alpha, so I’ve been using that.

Anyway, I just took the basic Hello World example that Alternativa provides and made a few changes. Seems pretty straightforward enough, I guess only time will tell which API is the “best.”

Obviously the below example will only work if you have the Flash Incubator installed.
