Away3D is an open-source real-time 3D engine for the Adobe Flash Platform.

Away3D is an open-source engine for rendering realtime 3D content on the Adobe Flash Platform. It was first launched as a fork of Papervision3D in 2007, by Alexander Zadorozhny and Rob Bateman, and is now developed by the Away3D team and a large number of contributors. It is the most popular open-source engine for the platform.

The Away3D set of libraries support Flash Player 9, 10, and 11, and implements the hardware accelerated capabilities of the most recent version. The latest major version, Away3D 4.0 is a complete rewrite from scratch for the GPU accelerated Stage3D APIs of Flash Player 11.
