3D

Can you put 3d objects in vb like from truespace and be able to view them as 3d (move them around)

sure, if you can find a control that will let you do it. Or failing that: make one yourself, I'm sure its do-able!

You can also use DirectX. It's great for these kind of things.

here you'll find an example about it:
