Import 3D models from google sketch up.
If people can hack mario 64 to be able. How about in scratch?
Example of mario 64 level being made in google sketch up

A level in the actual game

This also requires a Z postion.
I bet the Scratch Team can make this.

Re: Import 3D models from google sketch up.
the scratch team won't be making scratch 3d because it is intended as an introduction to programming, 3d would overcomplicate it.

Re: Import 3D models from google sketch up.
^^That. Thinking in 3 dimensions alone is pretty hard to get used to.
Yes, it's indeed very possible to control 3D models, in a 3D world, with a visual block-based language (Alice, StarLogo TNG). But you see: Making full-fledged 3D worlds isn't Scratch's purpose. Scratch is an educational tool meant to teach kids programming.
If you want to make a 3D game, I'd check out Unity 3D. A powerful game engine with modern graphics and relatively simple scripting in JavaScript, Python or C#. It's cross-platform, free and should support standard 3D model formats. Haven't actually tried it, mind you
