No, they would only have to pay if they used 3D rendering AND "domainMemory". I don't even think domainMemory is available for access in regular AS3 unless Adobe recently opened that up (I know Alchemy C++ and Haxe can use it). For something like Street View using domainMemory would likely give no appreciable performance gain, since StreetView would use just a few unchanging textures and vertices which would already be handled efficiently by stage3D.
The fact that they are charging only if 3D is used in conjunction with domainMemory really limits the kinds of apps that would be subject to this revenue sharing--although it's true that memory intensive games would likely want both of these features.
- guard-of-terra 15y agoThanks for clarification; I've missed "both". I'm not sure 3D graphics is a key for social games. And more serious games like MMORPG usually have no trouble making players install a dedicated client program. It's just me or they are targetting a pretty narrow market here?
