I posted this on Reddit a couple hours ago, and I've already got to the hot page with 500+ upvotes (currently 6th place), so I think its safe to say, people liked it a lot.
Now that 1.4.6 has 3D item entities, wouldn't the next logical step be 3D placed items? For example ladders, rails, or even paintings.
I'm currently working on the ladders, as you can see, they appear in 3D kind of how they appear in the item frame.
If any other modders would like to help me make this, I could really use the help!
Came here from Reddit, and I must say that I'm really looking forward to this.
I'd definitely like to see lily pads 3D. It should go from the top and go down, though, as there's a small, 2 pixel (In terms of textures) gap between lily pads and the top of water. But I'm sure you thought of that already.
Flowers, saplings, and other blocks that use the crossed square render method could like nice in 3D as well. Not too sure about vines though.
I've never done any work with modelling or any advanced rendering stuff, or I'd be interested in helping out. Good luck with the mod, though. I look forward to it being completed!

Flowers, long grass, wheat, sugar cane, lilly pads, just go for gold.
The only thing you'd have to keep in mind is different texture packs, but I'm sure it shouldn't be too bad. Good luck!
If you're going to bother to do a layered scheme for rails, might as well do it for ladders, lilypads (just the rim), iron bars, and paintings (the frame).
They're relatively high poly to maintain compatibility with the original textures, but that shouldn't be a problem with a proper LOD system. A loader for .obj or similar model formats in Minecraft would be useful, though...

Other things that could be 3D:
- Vines
-
Paintings(already 3D)- Lily Pads
- Iron Bars
- Redstone?
This is how i would like rails to look (Wooden part on the bottom, steel part on top)

I'd also like to see some 3D sugar cane.
That'd be awesome.

Make ALL the things 3D!
sweet mod btw...
It's a graphical change. So it can be to modify directly the classes or use forge. But I don't know if modloader can do this.
Maybe the horizontal wooden bars on ladders should be in front of the vertical wooden bars slightly?

I didn't actually know that! I just checked, and yes they are 3d, but it would be nice to see someone make the paintings not hover off the wall.
