kicad 3D rendering download

please consider kicad stepup script
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kicadstepup/
and kicad stable release ... they are more recent and had surpassed this project...

STEP AP214 and VRML models parametric generated available at:
https://github.com/easyw/kicad-3d-models-in-freecad/tree/master/cadquery/FCAD_script_generator

production release is based on http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/ with few differences aimed to export 3D and 3D manipulating

stable release is based on kicad 4022 stable version
kicad 3D adds the 3D realistic rendering of 3D pcb objects and board with copper layers and drill.
Thanks to Dr. Thomas Spindler that did the 3D code...
I just managed to give pre-builds in windows and add some tricky features to adapt the rendering to low level video cards and improving wrl importing and exporting.
source code to build for linux and osx
option to export wrl with pcb board
wrl to step conversion howto
