[Papervision3D] Issues with Maya DAE file

[David Di Biase]

Looking at all the issues that material referencing is giving me, I'm
thinking that it might be much simpler if I just created separate named
DisplayObject3Ds and assign the colours dynamically.

So far I've found code to assign a material list on load with my load
method. ie. modelCol.load("assets/test_cube_02red2.dae", new
MaterialsList({all: cm}));

The problem now is how do I reference the children of a DisplayObject and
assign materials to them explicitly?

Thanks!

Dave
