Decals do not fade out. - RESOLVED

Looking at the engine code, decals should fade out between their lifeSpan and fadeTime values. They don't. They disappear instantly from the scene.

Confirmed. THREED-835.
One issue I see is with the decal visibility being incorrectly clamped out against the alpha in the decal manager. Another issue is with the vertex coloring used here with the decals of which I'm pretty sure it does not get picked up in the shaders.
Checking back with Tom and looking into this.

Tom has confirmed to me that it is due to the vertex colors not being used on the shaders, and that it is on his TODO list.
