Yeah man, old-hat on this one. Papervision’s been doing this for ages, and the real deal is that we’re not going to see anything cool from this until it’s based on a non-proprietary platform. In other words, fuck technology that derives from flash. Get this running on Gnash (Opensource flash) and call me.

There’s a new trailer out for the new Mummy film…

See if you can spot a somewhat familiar sound effect (mentioned earlier in these comments) in there…!

I reckon the bleeps are from the X-wing games

VRML is dead.

Long live VRML.

I immediately thought Half-Life for all those sounds, reguardless of reading Deus-Ex… But yes, they could easily be from multiple games.

Thank you guys for sharing your opinions on Alternativa3D technology future. We understand it’s pros and contras, and invite everybody to take part in it’s development by trying out engine capabilities and dropping some feedback to the forum.

P.S.: seems like almost noone guessed sound’s source :) It’s a compilation of a number of sounds, being modified to uor needs.

Okay, running in Flash is neat, but this is a fairly crappy software rasteriser. I’m pretty sure Quake had scenes with more complicated geometry.

It’ll all go out the window when Flash eventually gets hardware acceleration anyway.

perspective seems a bit wonky, but the performance is smooth on my silicon-slave at work – p4D 950 (3.4GHz), 2GB ddr2-533, vista biz 32, Firegl x3350, Firefox 3.0RC2

The footsteps sound like they’re from Half-Life to me.

As long as we’re reminiscing on stock sound effects, how about the “dying infantry” scream from Command & Conquer? I’ve heard that thing about a thousand times, notably as the fellow is being flattened by the steamroller in Austin Powers…

The Imp growly sound from Doom crops up in a lot of things as well. Every time I hear it, I feel very strongly that somebody should start circle-strafing…

“(with footsteps I’d swear are from Deus Ex, and I know the bleepy noises too – someone please tell me in the comments)”

I believe the bleepy noises are from the main menu of Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.
