Model re-centering during import BREAKING CHANGE

We have removed the automatic model re-centering step from the Bob model import pipeline so imported glTF model positions are not altered. It also adjusts model transform handling so skinned/bone-parented meshes preserve local transforms while rigid meshes keep their flattened world placement. Both of these changes takes Defold closer to a “what you see is what you get” approach for 3D content.

The re-centering means that If your 3D content suddenly changes positions / orientation, this means that the content needs to be modified in an authoring package (e.g Blender) and then re-exported to .glb again. Most projects should be unaffected by this change, but there is a change in behaviour when importing models now in order to fix other incorrectly placed objects.

this small script should help to recenter and re-export models
UPD1: updated with a few fixes
