Hi,
I guess I'll chime in one more time and say Swift 3D is a very
powerful tool for flash 3d.
Swift was built to integrate to flash and it also will let you import
your 3DSMAX files (and many other formats including Papervision3D
support) into it.
But I believe, but don't quote me, that swift has a poly reduction
filter so you can bring in your 3DSMAX file in and if it has too many
polys, it will help you reduce them.
Kind of like illustrators simplify path filter. Again, Swift was
built so you could create 3D FOR Flash.
I have seed some amazing 3D work from swift.
Haven't heard too many talk about it though, but it caught my eye.
Might be worth a look-see.

As for papervision, this

sounds like away3d is the one to keep.
Possibly, given the Papervision3D team has changed and lately doesn't
seem to be doing much development, but that post, from almost a full
year ago, was just about one of the core team members leaving.
Papervision3D as a library is still in wide use. Even if
Papervision3D
doesn't ever go to the next version, I wouldn't completely throw it
out
of consideration. I'd google some stuff on "Papversion3D vs. Away3D"
and do some feature comparisions.
