Red Carpet Goban
Hi, I am in platonic love with weiqi. In my free time I am developing a 3D GUI for the game, as I love the aesthetics of Go.
Shall the community be interested, I would either devote more time to the development or open-source the code.

Thanks for your opinions, Jan
That looks pretty neat. It would be tempting to hook into it via the Go Text Protocol and/or a nice api. gogui already exists for non-aesthetic purposes.
You mean using GTP commands to place stones on the goban programatically, or using GTP engines from within the application? The latter is possible, the former not yet, but it is a valuable suggestion. Thank you.
There is a demo compiled for Windows at http://hraj.si/?en#baduk if someone is willing to try.
As I have no spare time to develop this project I have published the (messy) source code on github: https://github.com/popojan/goban/.
