Hi Goonzy,

Pixel3D in PV3D is just a simple particle system. The closest match is
Sprite3D. When used with a simple bitmap material, it's pretty fast:

If you need particles, then Flint is a nice particle engine with an
Away3D integration option. I don't think implementing a particle
system as part of the Away3D framework makes much sense.
