I am using Highcharts on my web, and I have the need for a 3D pie chart.
Does Highcharts support 3D pie charts? If so can someone show an example?

The pie 3D chart comprises of a circle that is divided into sectors, each representing a proportion of the summation of all values in a dataset. The pie 3D chart adds a layer of aesthetics to the plain pie chart by adding depth to it.
So our charts should almost always be 2D for the same reason our icons should be 2D. They are easier to process and closer to how our brains imagine objects in the abstract. This principle particularly applies to pie charts which, as we have discussed before, can be hard enough to read in 2D.
A 3D pie chart is like regular pie chart. They're identical in configuration, except that the former uses PieChart3D class to instantiate the chart, and PieSeries3D for its series. It also introduces additional settings depth and angle to configure depth (height) and angle at which we are viewing the chart.
It's the top most requested feature

and it looks like is is coming this year. Meanwhile, you can add radial gradients. http://jsfiddle.net/LCdVd/243/
--- Update --- 3D pie charts are now supported:
