http://www.ogre3d.org/ is the home of the OGRE 3d engine, I believe it is
opensource and cross platform (supports both direct3d and opengl) and is
definately full featured. I wonder how difficult it would be to stick it
into an xtra and basically link lingo commands to its interface? I bet it'd
be a lot easier than writing a 3d engine from scratch.
