[Papervision3D] Calling all testers!

The shadows are just created in actionscript (default Gradient classes) on
the materials. The Tiles are Planes that use the MovieMaterial class to
display.

The board camera movement is fast because each time the camera moves I hide
all the tile planes and replace with 1 big plane which is using the whole
hidden board of tiles as a single plane) Then when the camera movement
completes I hide the dummy board and display all the individual tile planes
again.

What would speed this up even more would be if the tiles that are not in
view were not generated by PV3D. Ie to be able to set the 2D scene width and
height properties. I don't think that's implemented in PV3D at the moment.
Is it on the cards?
