Features and Fixed Bugs
Rewrite the mesh functions entirely
Support multiple materials
Add support for material Ids
Fix the crash of empty material Ids
Support all material IDs as long as it's not at the end of the material Ids list.
The translation is much faster and more convenient.
Just to mention I've done this a long time ago but did not have enough time to clean up the code and rewrite it until now. More new features will be published soon, also interactive render is working like a charm and should be released soon.
