IMHO, this is cheating. 3D objects would at least need ray tracing to 
look half way real. If there is an urge to push 3D output of pcb layouts, 
it would be wise not to reinvent the wheels. I'd suggest an export in a 
3D format and delegate rendering to a third party application like the 
excellent blender.
