[Papervision3D] Shading on a plane

[Balázs Serényi]

thanks guys, i already tried to recalculate the normals, the plane has  
also a lot of segments so these are not the problems. The strange  
thing although is , when i apply some vertex transformation on the  
plane and recalculate the normals it gets nicely shaded except for  
those faces, which stay in the original position. Those stay flat.
