3D viewport overlay - Layer

Description
This asset provides an overlay for the 3D editor to visualize:
  • World axis
  • Camera position
  • View direction (3D compass)
  • Ground plane grid

This layer should always be the last, so the one in front of everything.
I'm well aware that they don't get covered by objects in front of them as they should (compass excluded), but I can't do anything about that now. I know how to fix it, the problem is that I need the camera's depth texture for that and wallpaper engine doesn't provide it to users, so, until this changes, you'll have to cope with it.

The 3D editor currently lacks a lot of things, even basic ones such as these.
So I've made this asset to have kludge solution until they are officially implemented in the editor itself.
The problem is that if the 3D stuff isn't popular, the editor won't get the devs' attention, but as it is now it's too restricted to be able to work confortably with it and have the freedom you have with the 2D one and for this reason it's avoided by users.
I made this to help solve this problem, by making the 3D editor more popular and get the devs' attention on it.
