AI 155 Adobe Flash boosted for 3d web as FreeSpin3D solution turns the web into a 3D environment


The 3d web received a boost today.

Powered by FreeSpin3DTM, the First Solution to Enable Importing and Real Time Rendering of 3D in Adobe® Flash®, is Released by Revolver.

The FreeSpin3D solution turns the web into a 3D environment, enabling any flash designer and developer to easily import and use 3D models in 2D Flash movies
Herzliya, Israel - November 17, 2008 (INB) -- Revolver, a leading provider of 3D content development solutions for the graphic design and game development industries, announced today the release of its patent pending product, FreeSpin3DTM.
FreeSpin3DTM is the first commercial solution for importing and real-time rendering of 3D Models into Adobe® Flash®.


The FreeSpin3DTM (Beta version) was successfully implemented by more than 10,000 flash developers and designers around the world. The solution is available at the company website, www.FreeSpin3D.com.

FreeSpin3DTM is the first software that makes 3D development simple, fast, and effective, enabling all Flash designers and developers to create real time 3D content. With FreeSpin3DTM, designers and developers can add dynamic 3D graphics to their 2D environment-based online games, animations, advertisements, web design, entertainment and interactive content.

Until now, developers looking to add 3D elements to their Flash movies were forced to use prerendered elements to import their 3D content into Flash. This time-consuming process requires a fully rendered frame-by-frame rendition, increasing file size and reducing interactivity. FreeSpin3DTM is the first program to cut out this lengthy process by enabling the display and management of 3D objects directly within the Adobe Flash work space, using the FreeSpin3DTM Action Script interface. Once the developer imports 3D models into FreeSpin3DTM, it manipulates and compiles them into a data structure suitable for 3D object rendering in Adobe® Flash. This overall process strengthens the interaction between the user, the developer and the 3D object, creating simple and powerful 3D in Flash.

The FreeSpin3DTM bundle, priced at $299 per license, includes the FreeSpin3DTM import engine, the FreeSpin3DTM development environment, and one year of updates. Some of the main FreeSpin3D features are:

• Auto 3D tweening

• Live 3D preview on the Flash stage

• Z depth sorting

• 3D Physics/behaviors

• Access to 3D ActionScript API

• Flash Timeline support

• Optimized for commercial use and distribution in terms of CPU, RAM, and file size efficiency


"We view that the release of FreeSpin3DTM will present a real opportunity to more than 2 million Flash developers and designers that are looking for new creative & revenue streams of quality 3Dcontent within their Adobe Flash productions. FreeSpin3DTM is Adobe® Flash® with near-native 3D support, it is literally 3D in a FlashTM!" says Amir Fischer, CEO of Revolver.
