Thanks for this Norbert.

Concerning conversion of very large models/meshes (from obj to mesh2), I 
seem to remember issues with them in Poseray. However - now that I think 
about it - they mainly concerned using subdivision levels and thus 
crashing Poseray. It may be something to talk about with FlyerX. With 
meshes becoming more complex alongside faster hardware and more memory, 
there might come a moment when Poseray will need an upgrade (rather than 
an update?).
