For any Eagle from Cadsoft user who wish to get a near reality view of there card before completion of the project, using Eagle3D and POV-Ray/POV-Ray Editor (like neXtgen Povray Editor, Y.A.P.R.M, KPovModeler and so on), you can make realistic 3D renderings of your PCBs. Eagle3D is a "script" for EAGLE Layout Editor. This will generate a ray tracing file (pov file), which will be sent to POV-Ray engine, which in turn will eventually pop out the finalized image of your PCB. Eagle3D is a sort of plugin for the circuit board design package Eagle. This plugin turns any board into a POV-Ray scene (creating absolutely realistic images of your board before you even think about manufacturing and soldering it), using parts from a 3D library of POV-Ray objects. Additionally, this library can be expanded to add them to the Eagle3D library.For more information about Eagle3D click here.
