E in 3D

Run the live experiment (Flash, played with Ruffle): https://www.kirupa.com/lab/ein3d.htm

Flash does NOT have any built-in support for 3D animations or 3D objects. However by using ActionScript and creative programming skills, simple 3D Vector objects can be rendered and animated with ease.

The only problem is that flash is not very optimized for this, so even the simplest 3D animations need large amounts of computing power to render. (Every frame of animation requires about one hundred calculations to be performed, and this is a little hard to swallow for Flash.)
