So, without doing all the work by myself I thought, perhaps there is already some documentation on the limitations and how the 3d items can interact with the game engine in general. However, the general FAQ, the art board and even this S&I seems to lack any specifics on that subject beyond how they are created.

Would it be possible to have someone compile a short FAQ for 3d items, and maybe also have a list of released 3d items, images of them (ingame) and maybe even lock the thread so it becomes a nice short FAQ?

A third thing is that these items seems to fall between two forum parts, ART for the art aspect of them, and S&I for the item forgers. Maybe it would be time to centralise and or combine the two into their own sub-forum under art?

I cant really say no to any of the things youre suggesting. I like it all.

The part with making a 3d item "demo" thread. That could be done by any of the normal players.

I guess i could start on such a thread myself when i find the time.

I also had plans to make a list of all 3d items but i found out there are quite a few out there.

Was also thinking to make a thread with what items go in combination with what other items.
2 item combination, 3 item combination, 4 item combination, etc. But for this to be done it will require a acc to have all the 3d items dumped there and test these things out. It takes time and patience and the staff to make that acc and possibly market greylist it so that it can only be used for that single purpuse.

A more developed 3d item tutorial is needed. I support this and i am willing to help out with what i can.

we could make a player initiative 3d team, that has access to an account with all available 3d items on it.
And from there does the work of making the 3d item guide.

If an acc like this would be given to somebody who can invest the time i think it would be great
I cant say to who...but somebody responsable and all.

And simple restrictions can be placed on the acc: greylisted on marked and banned from multyplayer. Even forum is not necessary since u can take screenshots and post from another acc...

Now that i see like this u can use the item.dat for this once a list of all 3d items is made....stupid me

Perhaps we could start an org dedicated to items and posting previews of different items.

We could work to gather one of every item in the game (or just use item.dat editing lol), create different item combinations, post screenshots of requested item combinations, and work to create and link to tutorials on 3d item, flame, and possibly hair creation.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea, I'll start making the org asap.

Fixing that means changing most of the codes of the 3D models loading engine - that's why sometimes when a model is visible from both sides, we tend to make another side that has the opposite normals on the other side.
Besides, that's how it works in most of the 3D engines to save up rendering processes that would otherwise be used on areas that are not usually visible, like the insides of a cube, outside or under a map, the inside of your player model, hair and 3D Item...etc
