Blit 3D models as sprites into 2D.

I had no idea we could do that. I think it’s not mentioned in the docs. Does anyone know how to do this?

There is a demo for that.
download demos and see in demos/viewport/3d_in_2d

OK , so we simply put a 3D object under a Viewport to do that.
Performance-wise speaking, shouldn’t we avoid overdoing that though (say, a viewport for each sprite)? I thought viewports incur a penalty in performance.
