It'd be easy in 3D, your right enough. just set up a DTMD to move oblong
away from the camera (trial and error). if you want you can make the sprite
semi transparent and anything behind would show though. Look at the simple
example of a DTMD on my site ~leon17, ive put it up there temporarily as
later it will be included in a DTMD tutorial. Its well commented and if you
have any problems understanding it, just drop me a mail. It displays a
textured cube (and is much easier to understand than some of the DTMD code
i've seen out there) which can be rotated + zoomed in and out.

Good luck!
