Two graduate students are creating a tool that will help you to build and load a 3D environment for your game in under a minute!   NEW YORK - Two NYU graduate students, Joanna Liu and Rivelle Levine, were doing their thesis research on tabletop gaming and realized a gap between the current gaming tools and players' dream tools.
