New tutorial scene doubles as SpaceX Simulator if you imagine dropping satellites instead of crates.

Load, Lift, Land, Repeat.

And thus the playground is now capable of using sprite sheets and animations.

glTF loader is at feature parity with obj loader now

(not that there are lots of features to match right now)
