Another feature request?

I have a feature request/question.  In the first version of pgf (before 
tikz) you had a gallery in the small documentation with an example of a 
3D box that was progressively rotated.  However, I don't have the original 
version anymore.

So my question is; is it possible to do such quasi-3D rendering in the new 
pgf/tikz?  That is, can I draw a picture using the xyz coordinates and 
then define a perspective?  Or is this too much to ask of latex?
