June 2026: Delivered a feature-rich enhancement for 3D model customization in OpenSpace/OpenSpace, focusing on Custom Node Transformations. Implemented support for applying translations, rotations, and scales to internal model nodes, with the ability to apply multiple transforms and optionally replace existing transforms. Added a Lua utility to inspect model hierarchies for easier configuration and debugging, plus a practical asset example to demonstrate usage. Refactored internal transform handling to std::map to prevent conflicts between properties and GUI names, improving stability and maintainability.
