SU Export to pdf 3D

Adobe released their Adobe Acrobat 3D, just wondering if an export to this is possible could be considered in SU Pro7 release, so that people with adobe reader can view SU 3D models?

Cheers

I know, but it needs work as the shadows dont work to in the PDF. Is there a solution to this?

I don't think that shadows or lighting can be exported to PDF from any application, I understand that it is limited strictly to it's own lighting features. I am not wuite sure, but I think that 3D PDF does not have a shadow casting option. Shadows in SU are raster features generated by ýour graphics card and there is no way to export them in vector form.
