I presume both questions refer to AT&T's Xt based OPEN LOOK toolkit.  AT&T
insist on calling this OPEN LOOK, apparently to cause confusion, while
Sun call it the OPEN LOOK Intrinsics Toolkit (OLIT), which is rather more
descriptive.  

The current version of OLIT does not support 3D user interface elements.
I believe that there is a version in the works that uses the OPEN LOOK
graphics library and will support 3D elements.  I have no idea when this
might appear.

If you need the sources to OLIT you will have to contact AT&T.  I believe
that Ma Bell will (antisocially) require you to present them with a sizeable
stack of portraits of dead presidents.
