As Colin already pointed out we have not done a major revision of the 3D engine in this release, we have added a few items but none of them deal with the rendering layer and they are tightly focused additions: Many folks use modelsUnderLoc and modelsUnderRay for a variety of uses and often this has served as a performance bottleneck for running code. In this release we now allow you a few more options when using these methods: Maximum number of models (already there in MX) Detailed or simple information (already there in MX) Maximum distance to cast the ray (new!) A list of models among which to cast (new!) Using those last two new items will allow you far greater control of the raycasting so as to allow better performance optimizing. In addition to the raycasting changes we've also implemented the ability to tap into hardware based anti-aliasing when supported on a machine via DirectX (we didn't do this for OpenGL though due to some technical reasons that I'm not immediately remembering). Hope that helps! Cheers, Tom Higgins Product Specialist - Director Team Macromedia Announcing Director MX 2004, de lekkerste! http://www.macromedia.com/software/director ...
