I am not an expert in this field but I believe your best options for 3D
rendering would be OpenGL or DirectX.
Do a search on "Delphi DirectX"

        Subject:        [DUG]:  2D and 3D design issues

        Am contemplating a niche app which involves the user laying out
graphical
        objects on a 2D surface which is then viewed/amended/saved and
optionally
        placed in a room and viewed as 3D.

        Should I:

        Use the Canvas object and standard delphi graphics stuff?

        Use OpenGL? For 3D viewing, convert and save as a .3DS file and use
an
        OpenGl viewer. Are there any units/components for creating 3ds
files?

        Use some other approach?

        Paul
