[Papervision3D] Using layers for z-sorting

[Heinrich Ruoff]

It works! Great!!!

Just to understand this right, by default all objects rendered in viewport
are added to the same ViewportLayer.
By calling getChildLayer the passed 3D object is added to a newly created
and returned ViewportLayer?


thx
Heinrich
