I don't know about neurosis 3D, but I didn't like other 3D programs because:
(a) They don't allow user to adjust the viewing angle. Usually the angle is that
pieces obstruct the view of other pieces/squares behind them.
(b) As a result of this sometimes is a chore to place pieces on squares,
especially if they are near completely obstructed with other pieces.
(c) So, a 3D program should allow the rotation, zooming (in and out), and
adjustment of view angle.
(d) Lots of 3D programs have bad looking pieces and board. I think both should
look good, if you'd like people to use them.
