Basically I have a scene object (TMD) which is very large but made up
of only a few polygons.

Eg there is a plane at the bottom which is only two triangles. 

The problem I am having is that the clipping is being done too early.
The polygon should be still visible but because one of it's vertices
is not in front of the view it gets clipped. I have tried using the
shift in GsSortObject but no luck. Is there anyway around this apart
from either increasing the amount of polygons in the scene or using
polygon subdivision as my Scene is represented as just one TMD and I
obviously don't want to subdivide that.
