[0.3.41] - 2024.11.07

Added

• R3F CameraTransition component to r3f export.

• Update "BatchedTilesPlugin" to rely on three.js r170, leverage new copy capabilities.
• TilesRenderer plugins and GLTF Extensions have been moved to 3d-tiles-renderer/plugins export path.

• R3F TilesRenderer: Added group property for passing react properties to the root tile set object.
• R3F <CompassGizmo> component.

Changed

• Slightly modified the traversal algorithm to not require loaded content (and therefore for content to exist) in order to trigger child tiles to load.
