and using FreeCAD VRML models (instead of Wings3D models) you have also
MCAD models to be used for the MCAD exporting/viewing
here there is a video of the FreeCAD VRML models and FreeCAD STEP models
that shows how KiCad is ready for MCAD world! (just now with the stable
release)

I've done a self contained project that displays the 3d-viewer in kicad
as the 3d MCAD view in FreeCAD or whatever MCAD software you want to use :)

The only down side is that as improvements are made to the 3D models,
they would not be visible. I hope at some point in the future our 3D
models could be improved (some of material properties are very wrong)
now that FreeCAD exports vrml files that the 3D viewer can use. I would
think the demos should track the latest and greatest to show case
KiCad's capabilities.
The "everything" project archive sounds interesting but it should be
discussed outside this bug report.

It's a right shame we don't have any standalone project archive format
that holds *everything*. That would be *very* useful for this sort of
thing, as well as just generally making sure projects can always be opened.
I wonder if there is any developer interest in that besides me. It's
definitely on my list of things I'd like to work on post-release, but I
don't have much time lately...

Why not to add 3d files (from some old revision of library) to
projects folder and use paths relative to KIPRJMOD? If demos will
refer to some special revision of library with 3d models they will
break each time the models are moved or renamed.

I just committed a fix for broken 3D model link in the interf_u demo
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1500956. While I was at it, I
looked at the rest of the demos that have board files and they are
broken (one partially) as well. Here is an opportunity for
someone to
help out the project and no programming experience is require.
All you
need to know is how to associate 3D models with footprints in
Pcbnew and
how to use bzr to create branch and a patch (well documented many
places). If someone has time to do this before the stable
release, it
really would be nice if our demos showed off the 3D models.
Thanks,
Wayne
