Okay back to topic what i believe makes games look dated is not trying to embrace their own unique art style and making last but trying to emulate others and lacking polish in the experience.

Reduced 90%Original 628 x 345[/quote] Yes the vanilla is dated, but mod support adds longevity to games which is why stardock is keen about adding it into GalCiv 3 as user friendly as possible Minecraft with 2 Mods and 1 Texturepack <img src="http://i.imgur.com/wyzx2pV.png" alt="" width="

It would be possible to export as a standard model format im guessing. But most 3D printers have their own propriety modeling system. So model export im assuming yes, conversion would be up to 3D printer manufacturer
