Yeah, but I don't think it's trivial to convert from 3D LDR format
to EPS. That's the problem. There are plenty of ways to Convert
from a 3D format to a 2D representation suitable for printing, but
most of them involve rasterization at some stage. However, it you
want to fiddle with it, there is code in ldglite to dump EPS output.
It needs work with the polygon depth sorting, and the elimination
of occluded polygons. Let me know and I'll point you to the code.
It may require a recompile to activate it.
