Thank y'all so much for the inputs. This is honestly my first time ever reaching out to an open source community as a developer and I am grateful I did. I will discuss the topics with my professor, but regardless of if it gets approved or not, I am willing to work on the 3D improvements for QGIS whatsoever - sounds like a lot of fun.
Andreas and Ismail: thank you again for the suggestions and referring to the people:) Tim and Nyall: would it be okay for me to reach out for a bit of guidance in the very near future?
