Hi, Zhichu:
$n$ years ago ($n\geq 2$), some user had successfully embed a u3d format file into pdf using ConTeXt with the instruction from Hans. I think the module is still there. Maybe you can have a look. In fact u3d and prc are similar, maybe you can try the same way. But I have no idea how to create a asy-tex interface like tex-mp [Moreover, I prefer to extend mp to 3-dimension, I look at the c code, it is not impossible:)]. Yes, I know that Renaud Aubin has u3d usable by ConTeXt. That's very impressive. I will check that if I can get Asymptote compiled and work with ConTeXt, although I don't think that necessary because labeled figures often appears in 2D version.
If metapost could provide 3D figures, that will be great. But I don't think Hans and Taco like that idea because prc isn't a standard yet maybe.
