On windows the 3D shapes downloader seems to work fine. No one has given any feedback on OSX that I am aware of. You probable should distribute the 3D models in the extras package just to make life a bit easier for new users. This way models will be available out of the box rather than a download and possibly configure step. I would prefer the 3D shapes downloader be used to keep 3D shapes up to date.
