Finished up new mesh loader & some initial work on loading OWB levels! Doesn't yet support terrains or brush nodes though, just lights, static meshes, and generic entities.

Progress on terrain support in OWB!
Heightmap import, basic heightmap painting, texture layers, & basic texture painting supported!

Working on terrain LOD rendering for Open World Builder.
Looked at a bunch of methods for hiding cracks between adjacent patches, shrugged & said "fuck it", and just slapped some skirts on the patch mesh. Remarkably effective & simple.

Slight refactoring of the RenderSystem & generating actual mesh for brushes

Working on editing & polygon clipping logic for brushes in OWB

Working on support for generic entities. Entity definitions are defined in the project settings window, entity types show up in Project Browser & can be dragged into scene. Inspired by entities in LDTK & FGD files for Trenchbroom
Finally had to get around to tearing out the simple "just call Node.Draw" approach & replacing it with an actual proper rendering pipeline so I could implement lighting in OWB.

Working on asset/node paradigm. A node factory can be installed which indicates assets it can handle and is responsible for turning them into new scene nodes when an asset is dragged from the content browser & dropped into the hierarchy.
(in this case, I have a node factory which handles .obj files and turns them into StaticMeshNodes)

Poking at the interface & figuring out what I want it to do
