This is fairly slow, since it orders all of the flakes for rendering (as well as all the tree branches, decorations and words).

Contains 3D TEXT component in framework.
Kudos to @eRKSToCK for vector text engine used as basis:

Was pretty quick to put this together from the previous project (not much over an hour).
Would've been quicker, except that I made a slight improvement to the efficiency of the dot components (setting the component centroid to be the same point as the dot, so it can cache the camera-PoV co-ordinates).
