Chaos Vantage 3.1.1 x64

- Fixed live link animation started with Vantage UI rendering the same frame over and over
- Fixed live link animation synchronization in 3ds Max
- Fixed deleting an instance of an appended scene resulting in incorrectly saved .vantage file
- Fixed excessive shared GPU memory usage with certain large .OBJ scenes
- Fixed HDR rotation not importing with vrscene generated from Revit
- Fixed default up direction (now Y) for OBJ and 3DS files
- Fixed camera view getting reset to the original camera after placing an asset
- Fixed issue when pressing ESC while dragging a tool
- Fixed UI issues when switching between Still and Sequence in the render dialog
- Improved rendering: Results now better match the VRayUVWRandomizer in V-Ray for Cinema4D
- Improved UI: Added progress indication when reading third party file formats
- Improved UX: Place tool now locks object orientation while Shift is pressed
- Improved UX: Load sample HDR file when opening non-vrscene files
