- Fixed object.setBody() and body.setObject() functions in UnigineScripts.
- Distance-based fading of volumetric objects.
- More detailed info on functions in EngineAnalyzer (input arguments are also printed now).

- No more memory allocations in ObjectMeshDynamic during tangent space calculation.
- All mesh-related things were migrated to two-vector tangent space basis.

- All benchmarks (Sanctuary, Tropics and Heaven) works well on PS3, as well as SDK samples.
- Major things left to do:
- Add PS3 gamepad support.
- Utilize SPUs for performance optimizations.
- RSX-specific optimizations of shaders.
- Prepare Unigine PS3 SDK and evaluation kit.
Heaven 2.0 running on PlayStation 3 (it looks the same as on PC w/o tessellation):
