3d alternatives

i heard that there is some controversy over how to do 3d coordinates in nodebox, so i thought i'd discuss.
as far as i know, nodebox was designed to be a 2d vector graphics program, not a 3d renderer. if you want 3d in python, try pyOpenGL, a port of OpenGL commands and functions for python. It's a great way to make 3d games with python.
the only problem with it is that it takes a ton of code just to open a window, so i'd like to make a suggestion to the developers; make nodebox support opengl commands! it would me cool to see a combination of 3d, 2d, and photo graphics in python without so much code.

Hi,

We have indeed been looking at OpenGL to push NodeBox beyond its speed limits. We have a small Python API going that supports animated images and transformations in a simple NodeBox way.

But it's hard to do anti-aliased fonts and vectors in OpenGL. That would mean a lot of boilerplate code to wrap OpenGL in simple commands that intermediate users and newbies could use.

So as I've been saying a lot these days: probably in a not too distant future.

Best regards!

couldn't you catch openGL before the rasterization pocess and make the data pdf vectors? maybe i'm asking too much.
