Animation, 3D scripts and tools, stuff and nonsense

Quick script for nAngus – this will import the material library from a referenced model and change the object assignments from the referenced to the local. Saves importing the refModel completely.

'''
localiseMatLib

Usage: select a referenced matLib. A (local) duplicate will be created and 
objects assigned to these new materials
