How much interacting can i get with the GPU with Flash CS4?


as many of you most likly know Flash CS4 intergrates with the GPU. My question to you is, is there a way that you can make all of your rendering execute on the GPU or can i not get that much access.

The reason i ask is with regards to Flash 3D nearly all existing engines are software renderers. However, i would like to work on top of one of theses existing engines and convert it to be as much of a Hardware renderer as possible. Thanks for your input Regards Mark


Solution

  • First off, it's not Flash CS4 that is hardware accelerated, it is Flash Player 10 that does it.

    Apparently "The player offloads all raster content rendering (graphics effects, filters, 3D objects, video etc) to the video card". It does this automatically. I don't think you get much choice.
