It doesn't make sense that the ST would feature something that they rejected.

I think it is unfair that the 3d projects get featured since there are only a handful of scratchers that can do it.

It's the blocks that have been rejected, not the projects themselves.

Only because there are less 3D projects on Scratch then there are 2D, so of course it will be faster for all the 3D ones to have at least one turn on there. Also, the Scratch Team judges projects by how good they look and there are more better designed and thought-out 3D ones there there are better designed and thought-out 2D ones. This is because most of the 2D ones are now being done by noobs.

Same as my first point - It's the blocks that have been rejected, not the projects themselves.

It would also be unfair if it would only be 2D projects. Think from the 3D Scratcher's point of view as well as your own. Also, if you look at the Featured Projects, it's a mixture of projects. They're not all 3D and they're not all 2D. Also, more Scratchers are slowly learning how to do 3D projects.

So really, I don't agree with your idea. 3D projects should be able to be featured because the people who make them most likely took ages to do the project. It takes a lot of time and skill and the Scratch Team like it when people put effort into their projects. To be honest, I do too. How would you feel if somebody would suggest that 2D projects shouldn't be featured because the Scratchers who do them are too lazy to learn how to do 3D projects and they're too lazy to do 3D projects? You would feel pretty much like ‘* is wrong with people?’ would you?

So all projects should be treated fairly.

So does that mean someone like me that doesn't make complex projects will never be featured?

Anyway, they were rejecting to make a 3D version of Scratch, not rejecting 3D altogether.

…
2. complex projects
3. projects that show an innovative use of Scratch
…
6. project that different kinds of people would find enjoyable
7. projects that inspire

The fact that people can make pseudo-3D engines in a 2D programming environment is certainly something to be lauded. The Scratch Team is only rejecting the concept of adding 3D blocks and tools to their language, not the concept of 3D itself.

And newer programmers can do it if they work hard and learn! A short while ago, I had a go myself at making a rotating cube, and it turned out alright, despite the fact that I know nothing about 3D rendering. And for the record, I also started using Scratch knowing little to nothing about programming. The point is, if I can do something like that with relative ease, anyone can.

Support. I have tried making several 3d projects, and in the end they are nothing more than a moving line that does nothing. The scripts for 3d projects are ridiculously complex, and if a project is featured it should be easy for most average scratchers to understand.
