I have created a Monopoly game with a 2D Graphics in Java for my final exam at college.I feel that the game doesn't look very good and I want to add a 3D Graphics. My problem is that I have never done 3D programming and I don't know how to create 3D objects.Can someone tell me where can I create 3D objects and what library to use for 3D programming that will allow me to create a 3D graphic interface fast? I have only two more weeks to do this. Can this be done?

Learning both creating 3D graphics and programming 3D rendering in just two weeks will be hard. 3D Graphics programming involve many non trivial concepts to understand, among others matrices and quaternions. If on top of this you want to learn a 3D software like Maya or Blender, this is almost impossible.As a starter, you should take a look at some OpenGL tutorials.Now, if I may give my opinion, I would suggest you spend your 2 weeks enhancing the user experience in your game in 2d. A monopoly game doesn't need 3d graphics to be good looking. Instead you could try adding 2d animations or effects, or sound, or game modes. EditOther answers suggest to use higher level engines. Although this can be done, I don't think it falls into the scope of an exam (I assume the author is asked to develop the game by himself). And I also would recommend understanding the basics of 3D graphics before using a higher level engine (but that's my opinion).
