Hi, excellent work but how it works? Sorry i cant load my 3d object

Thank you a billion times over. I had to make some changes to this to make it work in my unity project, such as adding multi-object support, but without this code, I wouldn't have been able to add a vital feature to my game. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
