T3D 1.1 final - $pref::TS::smallestVisiblePixelSize doesn't work - LOGGED (THREED-3160)

Build: T3D 1.1 final

Platform: Windows

Target: game, editors

Issues: $pref::TS::smallestVisiblePixelSize is supposed to stop shapes from rendering when they become smaller than the specified size. This isn't happening.

Steps to repeat:
1) launch the FPS example and load deathball desert.

2) pull down the console and type $pref::TS::smallestVisiblePixelSize = 500

3) Look around and note that all the shapes are still rendering

4) Try another value and observe the same result

         "@brief User perference which sets the smallest pixel size at which TSShapes will skip rendering.n"
         "This will force all shapes to stop rendering when they get smaller than this size. "
         "The default value is -1 which disables it.n"
