Hey, I’m trying to use ArrayCamera with several PerspectiveCameras. However, objects further than ~15m from the camera are not rendered at all. I was able to recreate this behavior with the ArrayCamera Example (see the attached Codepens). I tried copying the fov/aspect/near/far properties of the child PerspectiveCameras to the parent ArrayCamera with no luck. When I directly render one of the PerspectiveCameras, the distant meshes render properly.

- [Codepen](https://codepen.io/anon/pen/JmEdRY) (Object at z: -2 doesn’t render)
- [Codepen](https://codepen.io/anon/pen/bmgdgM) (Object at z: -1 renders correctly)

If you set the position value of the mesh to `(0, 0, -2)`, it just disappears behind the blue background plane which has a position of `(0, 0, -1)`. I’ve removed the plane from the scene in the following codepen to illustrate this: [https://codepen.io/anon/pen/ZqeYxr](https://codepen.io/anon/pen/ZqeYxr)
