Is there an easy way to put a 3D object into a 2D scene?

    Definitely, try something like this:

    T2DShape3D shape = new T2DShape3D();
shape.Name = "Player";
 
shape.SetShape(@"data\shapes\boombot\orange_player.dts");
shape.ShapeScale = new Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector3(10);
 
shape.Components.AddComponent(new MovementComponent());
shape.Components.AddComponent(new T2DPhysicsComponent());
 
TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.Register(shape);

    Cool. I was wondering this myself this morning. Wish we could load them in TXB like you can in TGB.

    Agreed. I really like that TXB feature.

    Could I put in say boxes in this manner and possibly move them around in the editor or would there be a different way of doing something like that? Having 3d object in scene would be great but I dont really need a 3d player so thats why I ask. Also since I am completely new to code in general where would I put this code at? Sorry for all the questions but love the idea of 3d objects in a 2d scene like FlatRedBall has.
