Additional Notes
- You must enable clipping first using "SetRenderClipPlaneEnabled".
- "normal" is a vector normal to the plane, "pos" is a known point on the plane, "distance" is the dot product of the two.
- If distance is not given it defaults to drawing the plane on the map origin (0,0,0)
- Only needs set once, do not set it every frame unless you have to (e.g. keeping the plane relative to the prop)
