Rendered 3D vs Real Time 3D in Flash
With the latest versions of flash player it is now possible to create environments and 3D objects for use in the standard flash player - Here are two examples of using 3D in flash:
This first version is a rendered video - with the playback (Forwards and Backwards) programmed in flash to give interactivity:

Now this version is using the 3D capabilities of the flash player, its much more interactive as we can control the model in real time (note by clicking and dragging you can rotate the object in all directions) and it is a much smaller file size for download. The disadvantage is that you can only use a limited amount of polygons in the mesh (note the round edges are squared off in places) It also suffers from rather flat shading.

Mediastation are currently developing out own proprietary flash 3D engine that will bring better shaders and lighting.
