fantasy skeleton MH2 and exportable in base mesh with parts.
basic parts for fantasy mesh in MH2
obj exporter now works with posed character and accepts specular color
changes in renderer to also allow foreground render
ability to load assetpacks using a parent mesh

🔋Quality of life improvements:

first installation: test if user area is writable
material-editor: mhmat file loader button, possibility to modify specular color
cache clearing button in preferences.
double clicking for selections
sqlite reload (cached database) can be triggered from menu
file selector to make search easier when an asset-pack zip file is already downloaded
small changes for single asset download to allow more materials to be put in correct folder
splitter sliders added.
fixed pathnames for default assets
the default skeleton now is packaged with build

🐞Bugfixes:

normals for pbr shader corrected
avoid showing mesh bugs when loading character (it froze system)
obj exporter now should not do artifacts, fixed specular vs. emission, it also allows materials of same name
gltf, mh2b should work with corrections
changed behaviour to use mhpose file similar as bvh file (correction of bones, using it in renderer etc)
ability to correct bones in animation NOT used in bvh files
saving model: use a different method for MHM file caching, since neither name nor uuid had to be changed.
(this resulted in only one visible file)
eye-materials only in user folder, meshes in system folder (materials were not found)
proxy vs. basemesh. After changing material, materialeditor crashed
character info: when mesh was changed, character info window was messed up
