3D models in dialog?

[X-maul]

Is it possible to display a 3D model in a dialog window? I want to be able to prewiev a unit before selecting it. I'm pretty sure I've seen it done in the SC2 version of DotA.

Anyone who knows how to do this?

As far as I know, dialogs doesn't support this so you'll have to do some fancy camera work. Basically you make a transparent dialog and put frame images and such on the dialog. You make sure to have a box on the dialog without any images blocking and then you show a unit behind it. You can then manipulate the camera to do different kinds of stuff.

Progammer on SC2Mapster recreated the interface from the Blizzard DotA. You can find his work(including a test map for you to check out) here
