For a moment i thought about this, too, but this would be a *LOT* of work if
you would like to reproduce the scene exactly, although it would not be
impossible.  Maybe things would simplify if only 2D is considered, but
creating a reasonable PostScript image of a 3D scene is quite complicated
(geometry transformation, color shading, ...).
