3D is pretty much foregin to me with GM. Anyone willing to program alongside me (perhaps help me on the way/talk with me so I can understand things) so I can work on it? I might actually feel more motivated working with someone.

…And if you do agree to help out, please don't drop off the face of the earth on me. I'd like to actually be able to create something, with or without help this time.

…Can anyone donate some time? D:

Er…have you tried any of the tutorials or such yet?

(I have little time and my copy of GM is on a Windows system that I don't really trust to handle much 3D stuff, so I'm not going to be of much use there :/ )

Man up and learn 3D.

3d isn't hard, just learn the basics and the rest should be easy from there.

3D isn't all that hard to do if you know how to model with code (primitives), or use an extension of some sort. Love to be of help but I don't necessarily have the time to lend (I've got my own projects I need to finish).

A lot of that video is just proper camera angles while keeping the ship on the overlay. If you limit the 3D effect to the background and don't let it distort gameplay, it's really pretty easy and has a nice aesthetic effect.

Just take some time to learn it, grab some examples, and direct your focus to it. 3D isn't as hard as you think.
