+gdx-tilemap3d
+=============
+
+A work-in-progress library to handle management and rendering of a game world composed of 3D "tiles" arranged in a
+uniform 3D grid. Tiles can be composed of just simple 1x1x1 cubes or separate models scaled, rotated, and/or combined
+at runtime to arrive at a final Tile model mesh.
+
+This is very much still a work-in-progress!
