日前,Adobe公司在Flash游戏峰会上发布了一个名为Molehill、支持3D硬件加速功能的Flash Player公开测试版本,开发者已可通过Adobe网站下载Molehill。

据游戏邦了解,Adobe最新推出的这项3D Flash技术,支持全屏运行3D场景,Adobe希望该技术能够追上竞争对手Unity公司的3D技术。Adobe的游戏解决方案产品战略高级主管詹尼佛·泰勒(Jennifer Taylor)曾于上个月在采访中表示,他们致力于以富有策略性的想法,帮助开发商节省成本,降低开发难度,以鼓励开发商选择这项可运行3D场景的新技术。

不过,Unity不久前也公布了新消息,游戏邦获悉该公司团队正研究在Unity技术中添加一个Flash Player的可行性,目前正全力开发这项功能。

如果这项技术成型的话,Unity的用户将可选择在自己的游戏中植入Flash Player或者Unity Web Player。在该公司博客中,Unity工程师卢卡斯·梅杰尔(Lucas Meijer)表示,他们很高兴能够将Flash Player及其所有功能与Unity技术相结合,但Unity插件应该还有更适合自身特点的选择。

Unity目前还没有公布这项新功能的发布日期及其售价等信息。

在本月初,Unity还宣布与索爱进行合作,将结合了Unity技术的游戏推向了新款Xperia Play手机平台,Unity Xperia Play API将于今年春季向Unity 3D开发者推出一个更新版本。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Pre-GDC 2011: Adobe 3D-Capable ‘Molehill’ Flash Beta Launches, Unity Working On Flash Export Feature

Adobe has launched the public beta of its Flash Player with hardware accelerated 3D support, codenamed Molehill.

Available to download now from Adobe, the beta was announced at yesterday’s Flash Gaming Summit, and can run full-screen 3D scenes.

Adobe is hoping that its new 3D Flash technology will be able to rival competitor Unity’s 3D capabilities. Jennifer Taylor, senior director of product and strategy for gaming solutions at Adobe, said to Gamasutra last month:

“We are thinking very strategically about ways in which we can reduce the cost and the pain and the challenges for developers so that they can embrace the new capabilities we are adding to the runtime around 3D.”

However, Unity has its own news to share that may tip the balance. The Unity team has been investigating the possibility of adding a Flash Player exporting option to Unity, and has now moved into full production of the feature.

Unity users will be able to implement either Flash Player or the Unity Web Player for their games. In a post on the company’s blog, Unity engineer Lucas Meijer said “We’re excited by the opportunity to target the Flash Player and all of its features with Unity, but there will be plenty of experiences that the Unity plugin is better suited for.”

No details have been provided yet regarding when this feature will be ready, and how much it will cost.

Earlier this month, Unity also announced a close partnership with Sony Ericsson that will highlight Unity-distributed games on the new Xperia Play mobile phone. The Unity Xperia Play API will come in an update to Unity 3D developers this spring. (source:gamasutra)
