As Jesse noted, the Shockwave Player's 3D engine can take advantage of
hardware acceleration (if available) for its realtime rendering, and
over half of all consumers tested already have this ability on their
machines. SWF files also integrate nicely into Shockwave work.

(The new Acrobat 3D also has a realtime 3D rendering engine, and I
believe it can take advantage of any available hardware acceleration,
but I'd have to doublecheck that last detail. SWF integration is
possible now, but I expect will improve further in the future.)

No, Shockwave Player has a extensibility mechanism and can accommodate
additional renderers, but this is part of why the download size is
larger, adoption rate slower. (Oh, I see, reading more of the thread,
Jesse covered that too, I need more coffee.... ;-)
