Asynchronous loading of mesh assets

When I import a big mesh file, the application is halted for a long time.

I can do this feature if you think it is worth it.

Hi, how big is the mesh file? How long does it take to import for you?

Freezing is bad it should be resolved eventually, but maybe we can focus on import speed first.

The mesh is combined with 4,172 parts. Total faces 219,148. Total vertices 206,376.

The amount of geometry data should be no issue at all then, but 4,172 parts is quite a lot, I think ArmorPaint will not even be able to properly display that many entries in the combo list. So the first step is to properly handle that many parts (although in this case it may be more practical to split model by material instead of object, or use a color id map).
