[Papervision3D] MovieMaterial Update

[Pedro Furtado]

Thx Carlos,

Yea i got that from the initial post, but my idea is to change it low/med
while it's animating and then render the last frames in high before i stop
the engine, atm i'm doing this on the stage.quality, but it would be cool if
it's controllable just like that. Plus i also check for average frame rate
and increase/decrease quality accordingly and the same for FX, so if i
setting this prop affects the next cycle it's just what i needed :)
