I've been working exclusively with 2D for some time, and I have
had no trouble there; now, however, I have decided to attempt
something in the 3D arena....

Despite my best efforts, I am having some troubles with getting
everything set up properly.  I understand the file formats, and
I know how to get TMD data in memory.  So... what do I do
beyond that?  I have no clue of how to set up viewpoints, the
objects themselves, etc..

What would be truly helpful is if some kind soul could make a
very simple, no-frills example that did the following (with
well-documented code):

Initialize the 3D system
Draws one object with a given location and orientation
   (just a simple, flat- or non-shaded cube would do,
   or even just a single polygon)
Allows the viewpoint to move to a given location and face
   in a given direction

Can anyone help me out here?  Please??
