Please, please please please please please look into making pictures in .PNG format. I clicked that link several seconds ago and it's still loading on DSL (I pity the poor dial-up users).

StepMania has a pretty good 3D engine, though it's seen vast efficiency improvements in 4.0, which is where you might want to start. You just need to learn the syntax for whichever scripting system you use (4.0 has had two different ones so far...XML-based and LUA-based) and give it a location in X, Y, and Z coordinates. Play around with it and you'll figure it out.

(Still loading...)

Finally, done loading. (Please use .PNG format or another good compression format...Paint will export to .PNG if you're on XP and it's definitely worth the effort for all involved)

Yeah, it looks really easy to pull off, if you can create yourself some MilkShape 3D objects and just play with the system. Specifically, look into the ITG themes - they've done a lot of cool stuff with 3D graphics.

Yes. BMP = nonono. PNG = yesyesyes.

As for the pic that took a crap load of time to load, I hope that's not what the actual theme will look like. >->
