Nice!

"now I can test the models in the new 3D environment :)"

In relation to the openGL render mode, you should expect similar results. There are still things missing and some tweaks need, but visually it should be similar.
(supposing you choose in current kicad to use model materials and choose to NOT use model normals)

On Raytracing render mode, the materials differences are more noticeable. You will experience a "per pixel" shading and materials will play a big deal on that. Special the shininess and transparency. The transparency will make the material with refractable capabilities  and shininess (big values) will make the material reflective.

Have fun!
Mario
