I dunno, I've seen some VERY impressive and complex and textured models exported from apps like Maya to Papervision and they run great in Flash Player 9 under the Papervision framework. What kinds of complexity are you referring to? For a lot of the 3D stuff people want to do, I would bet Papervsion could handle 80% of it or more. Not to say Papervion is easy to pick up and use out of the box, but it is powerful. Have you seen the Mini Cooper 3D car example where you can drive it with your keyboard?
