Re: adding 3d models?

There's no functionality to load in 3D models.  The closest you can come is to render your model in different positions and then load those pre-rendered images into Scratch.

chronocastro: you might also be interested in Starlogo TNG ( http://education.mit.edu/starlogo-tng/ ).  The programming language looks a lot like the one in scratch, but you control characters in a 3D world.  It comes with a library of 3D shapes, and there is a tutorial that shows how to import your own ( http://education.mit.edu/starlogo-tng/shapes-tutorial/shapetutorial.html ).
