This should be enough to start out. As I already explained on the blog, the 3D 
view is not release critical, so there is no pressure to get something ready 
in the short timeframe that is the 4.3 release schedule.

I suggest you checkout 
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/games/kolf and have a look at 
the code. The relevant class for you is elements/object.h (where 3D rendering 
functions will have to be added for each class of objects) which is well 
documented. 2D rendering is done through QGraphicsView primitives provided by 
Qt (see the implementations in elements/object-*).

Hope this helps. You can contact my private address for a more detailed 
discussion about the code structure.

Greetings
Stefan
