i don''t understand what you mean by "3D tilemap"... tiles are 2D, after all.

exactly!

see this is what i tried but i ran into some problems...

i made a file like this,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

i read that file into a structure and rendered 2 flat quads (floor and ceiling) for every 0 and a tall cube for every 1.

but the cubes had extra sides... i think this cant really be done, so there''s really no point...
