There's no more progress on U3D from me since that thread, but rgl can 
now export WebGL format, which is viewable in most browsers (though not 
IE).  This is quite new and still a little incomplete, but it is working.

So to solve the 3D-in-PDF problem, you could extend Luke's U3D code to 
handle more general objects (which are now more accessible; I needed to 
expose a lot of data when writing the WebGL support), or lobby Adobe to 
put WebGL support into Acrobat :-).
