Is this even possible?
Brian looked into it - difficult. Rewrite rendering
code, object code. and old problems don't work.

Toggle-able 2d/3d environment.
in 3d env, hard to define how things are shaped?

    This looks really difficult. We'd be pretty much making a
    ghetto 3ds max. There are additional complications in that
    usually 3d modellers work off both global and relative
    coordinates, and our impl of relative coords is sketchy at
    best. Not to mention camera positions.

    If we were going to do this, I'd also want to look into
    working with openGL to do it. I've seen some of my UNC
    peers make/run a game using openGL, and it was blazingly
    fast.
