Load, render and animate 3D rigged models in Flash (or propose alternative)

Question

I have some rigged 3D models (made in MAX) with full skeletal animation which I need to load and render in real-time in a browser window.

I am thinking of using Flash (Stage3D?) because:

• I am an Actionscript expert
• Flash is available out-of-the-box for the vast majority of computers (or is it?)

Is there a ready-made engine for Flash (freeware or not) that can load/render/animate MAX models?

Alternatively, is there another - easy - way to go, which wouldn't require the user to download a browser plug-in (like Unity Webplayer)? Here are some alternatives that spring to my mind:

• WebGL (a ready-made engine would surely be needed)
• Java (same as above)
• Unity HTML5?!
• Unreal Engine 4?!!!

Answer 1

You can import 3D models in to flash. But each view will be a new frame.

I'd recommend not using flash for your purpose.

You can look into X3DOM which is an open-source framework and runtime for 3D graphics on the Web.
