 If you are willing to do some programming: have a look at these two programs:
 JMol (3D) or JChemPaint (2D). Both are opensource, written in Java, and have
 CML import filter (one has MDL as well i think) and can export bitmaps...
 Just pick the appropriate classes and glue them together...
 the addresses are:

 and
