from an earlier post of @xavierw:
I’d say it’s what you get inside ProE when you render the model, won’t look as nice in KiCAD or FreeCAD, but maybe in blender after you played with the materials a bit after using @maui’s StepUp tool to get the pcb assembly over there.
@xavierw
You don’t want each value on those, unless you’re insane or a genius. 
What is the STEP file size for that resistor btw? Looks marvelous.. I wage a guess, the VRML file will come in at 800kB+ unless you find a way to control the amount of segments being used for round surface approximation - I had no luck so far 
Doesn’t ProE have some kind of facility where you can code behaviors of model parameters according to some table? I know it exits in Inventor.. never used it though.
The footprints are generic and there currently is no way of transferring values from the symbols over to the 3D models in an automated fashion in KiCAD.. which means you’d need one resistor symbol, footprint and model per value.. which E-series do you had in mind? 
Not even this is possible in KiCAD for now, which is way simpler:
