Has anyone had some time to check out the VRML tools branch?

https://code.launchpad.net/~cirilo-bernardo/kicad/vrml_tools

Despite the large amount of added files, the only main branch files which
have been touched are CMakeLists.txt, utils/CMakeLists.txt, and
CMakeModules/download_boost.cmake

The added files should not affect a KiCad build unless the flag
-DKICAD_SCRIPTING_VRML=ON is passed to CMake. The tools
themselves can also be built and installed without building the
majority of KiCad by doing a 'make install' from 'utils/models3d' in
the build directory.

I have not yet included the documentation in this branch since the
original docs are in LaTeX and I'm not yet sure what's happening
with the KiCad documentation conversion; however the docs are
available from the original sourceforge project site:
kicad3dmodels.sourceforge.net.

The latest revision of the branch includes a script which produces
a total of 82 TSSOP, SOIC, and QFP VRML models.
