I believe there is a plugin that does 3d objects if your looking for rendering into 3d.
THere is a copperlicht plugin and I believe 3dbox. There used to be a great stickied thread that had a great list of plugins and behaviours, but I can't seem to find them :|
Also you can do the old style and create a ball that is composed of many 2d frames that mimics the angles for 3d.
