Scaleform GFx was a game developmentmiddleware package, a vector graphics rendering engine used to display Adobe Flash-based user interfaces and HUDs for video games.[6] As a result of Autodesk's acquisition of Scaleform Corporation in March 2011,[7] Scaleform GFx became part of the Autodesk Gameware line of middleware. On July 12th 2018, Autodesk discontinued Scaleform GFx and is no longer available for purchase.[8]

Authors created user interfaces using Adobe Flash authoring tools, such as Adobe Flash Professional; the resulting SWF files could be used directly by the GFx libraries, providing similar functionality to the Adobe Flash Player but optimized for use within game engines.

All major platforms were supported, including game consoles, mobile and PC operating systems.[1] Scaleform provided APIs for direct communication between Flash content and the game engine, and pre-built integrations for popular engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and CryENGINE.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Scaleform GFx could also be licensed for use as a standalone Flash runtime system on mobile platforms,[15][16] competing with Adobe AIR.

Features[edit]

Autodesk Scaleform Download

Scaleform GFx contained several core systems, including:

  • a GPU-accelerated rendering engine for display objects, featuring a vector-to-triangle tessellation engine with an edge anti-aliasing algorithm that uses subpixel triangles to smooth the edges
  • mesh rendering backends for DirectX and OpenGL APIs
  • a mesh cache to manage tessellated triangle data
  • a vector-graphic based font system that uses a single texture to dynamically cache glyphs on demand
  • support for all major Flash display classes including Sprite, MovieClip, TextField and Filters (Glow, Bevel, DropShadow, etc.)
  • optimized ActionScript 3[17] and ActionScript 2 virtual machines with garbage collector, as well as GFx-specific ActionScript extensions[18]
  • audio support via a licensee-implementable C++ interface, with a default implementation supporting FMOD[19]

Additional components[edit]

In addition to the engine, documentation, and samples, the Scaleform GFx SDK included several additional components:

Scaleform 3Di
ActionScript 2 extensions allowing for three-dimensional location and rotation of Flash elements. Scaleform 4 includes support for ActionScript 3's built-in 3D capabilities, making 3Di unnecessary.[20][21]
Scaleform CLIK
Common Lightweight Interface Kit - easily customizable Flash UI component framework, including buttons, list boxes, drop down menus, sliders, trees and windows, created in collaboration with gskinner.com. These components are intended to be lightweight, while providing for bi-directional communication with the engine and other considerations for game development.[22]
Scaleform UI Kits
Prebuilt customizable examples including sample C++ engine and ActionScript code, as well as corresponding Flash content. These currently include an MMO UI, FPS HUD, and frontend menu kit.
Scaleform AMP
Analyzer for Memory and Performance - profiler tool used to analyze memory and performance of Flash content inside a game or 3D application while running on PC, console or mobiles. AMP is similar in purpose and design to Adobe Scout. AMP gives detailed stats for CPU usage, rendering, and memory, and includes a complete ActionScript profiler with function and per-line timing.

Separately-licensed add-ons[edit]

Scaleform also provided two optional add-ons for GFx:

Scaleform Video
Fully integrated video codec for Flash Video workflow support (currently powered by CRI Movie.)
Scaleform 3Di
Fully integrated Input Method Editor (IME) for Asian chat support.
