Bin,
  At present, there's not currently a way to get an analogous
result from Tachyon or any of the other external renderers. I plan
to add this feature to Tachyon in an upcoming revision however, so that
it'll work correctly in that case at least. I'll have a new version of
VMD and Tachyon that you can test in a week or so if all goes well.

Cheers,
  John Stone
