[Papervision3D] Q: Why is this pixelating with smooth = true

[Steven Hargrove]

i also tried this:
stage.quality = StageQuality.HIGH;

the StageQuality.BEST setting destroys performance, but does fix the issue.

I should also mention that in the fp 9.0.64 with AUTO_MIP_MAPPING,
this issue is fixed. But, that player is still in beta and I can't
count on everybody having it.

Its looking more and more like something that i'll just have to live
with, but from all the other pv3d stuff ive seen, they got it right,
so i think im doing something wrong...
