No, not right now. We haven't added any support for lighting whatsoever 
because we didn't see how it was neccessary for diagram editors, which 
is our main concern ;-).

If it's just a matter of adding methods to Graphics3D, I don't see why 
we couldn't do it though. Jens, what do you think?

By the way: Miles, if I understand correctly what you're trying to do, 
you're not interested in editing support for your diagrams, right? This 
is only for visualization of agent systems?

Best regards
Kristian
