what do you mean?

Like if it is possible to render 3d on the nintendo DS?
A.) sure it is,- its why we have DS now over the Advance

like putting your own 3d models (homebrew) on your nintendo DS?
A.) yes and now, with the latest firmware (a few days ago, the one with facebook photo upload support) nintendo prevented 3rd party hardware to work anymore with their device which makes it harder to run custom software on it.
Yes in the way that it was or is yet possible now without the new Firmware using custom software. Check the following threads for more details:

...there was another famous one here on polycount but I cant find it anymore not even with google.

also check out this thread (polycount suggestions, hardware limitations,...)

Yeah you need an R4, it should work fine as long as you are running your homebrew stuff on a DS Fat/DS lite.

Here's a nifty tool to view your models (and even levels!) on the DS:

This one works as well, probably not as fancy as that other one though. I know this one works, tried it myself several times. Quite limited camera control and the camera i a bit skewed.
