Been fiddling around trying to put 3D objects in the game. RimWorld has not been happy about it, but I think I'm close to getting some nice 3D cubes to replace the walls, which opens up a lot of possibility for future mods in my opinion.

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to break away from it all to get on with my exams that start in about 5 days, but I was just wondering what you guys would think of certain elements (not necessarily walls, just testing) being made 3D by a mod, and if you think it would at least be worth a shot, what would you like to see?

Are you trying to do what I think you are trying to do? (Unlocking that Z vector, the one that goes up.)

Although I think the various plants, Geothermals or solar's would be cool.

Good luck with this and your exams. You'll probably do well you damn genius. ;)

Hmm, sounds interesting! Do you mean objects that use the Z-factor or 3D models? I'm curious what it would look like, have ye any pictures? :P
Anyway, best of luck on your exams!

I mean 3D models; not much to show at the moment, without having some 3D lighting in the scene, it looks like a single, though odd, 2D shape. I have been spinning it and moving it to various different places so I know that it is working, I just can't figure out how to put lights in that won't play havoc with the 2D parts of the scene.

Cheers for the best wishes though guys, just kinda wish I had taken some kinda computing course rather than Government and Politics, that way I might be able to answer things in the exam XD
