Happy New Year! Have some new features and bug fixes!
New:
• Support for USD file types! Includes .usd, .usda, .usdc and .usdz file support.
• Control the direction of the harsh shadow lighting mode: hold down the shadow button to bring up the directional control and rotate the light around your asset.
• I figured out how to put dot points in my app update notes and descriptions
Fixed:
• Certain OBJ + MTL combinations would result in an untextured asset being presented (please send me an example if this is still happening after this update!)
• Some assets would not scale using the slider or display their height on the HUD on their first use
• Assets sometimes wouldn't obey the manual texture colour assigned to them
