Logically it seems redundant to apply 2 very different 3D techniques. My offer was very cheap 3D effect that might be comapred to minecraft' drawing everything as cubes ie 3d pixels. Yes for better 3D effect get the expensive 3D engine for sure.Think about it - when we watch a regular movie or TV show in 2-D, the picture is not "3-D", but unless the program is a completely 2-D cartoon, the images ARE "three dimensional" in the same way your technique is - that is, there is perspective which shows depth, the people and buildings get smaller as they go farther away, etc. What makes a "3-D" movie (where you wear the glasses) or a hologram different from this, is that the same perspective and people and objects have depth, and seem to be coming out of the screen at you, because now your eyes are each seeing the picture from a different perspective, because our brains interpret this to allow us to perceive depth. So your 3-D method and the anaglyphic piece are not redundant to one another. The anaglyph simply takes the isometric image and makes it "pop"!
Something tells me you are too hooked on idea of wearing those wierd glasses from the 50's

I think my last code starts to achieve the "viewmaster" effect JRace is talking about, but I haven't had a chance to test whether I got the "z" coordinate right - I could have it backwards. The closer to us the row of cubes is, the further it is supposed to be shifted right, but right now the code assumes a higher Z value means closer, and it could be that a LOWER z value is closer (which would make my code bass-ackwards!) When I am back at my PC, and have a minute, I will verify.
PS If you are interested in 3D glasses, send me a mailing address in a private message and I'll send you a pair, cuz I got 10 of them!
