Sorry, but I fail to see what the 3D aspect of this drawing brings to
anything, other than to impress the gallery and look spiffy.
I guess that we belong now to a society without any imagination,
requiring lots of colors, shadowing (and even animation) in order to
get an idea across...
(At least make use of the third dimension to describe SOMETHING if you
are going to include it.)

P.S. the green y-axis looks really odd in your example.

Could anybody explain how to use Asymptote in ConTeXt with the filter module.
Can you post a minimal asymptote file and how it shoud be processed via the command line?
I have no time to create a nice minimal example, but here's an ugly non-minimal example which should at least enable you to test the interaction with the filter module.
I also added one ConTeXt-specific command while trying to make math fonts work properly, just replace "lucidaot" with another font in case you don't have that one installed.
You can run the example with asy -tex context cylinder.asy
(Maybe it's possible to set the tex engine inside the file as well.)
Bonus points if you can get PRC to work properly before TL 2015. Or if you can make the file print properly from OS X without using Acrobat or ghostscript/CUPS. Preview.app "forgets" to print the (smoothly shaded) cylinder for example.
