Crocotile 3d can now export .gltf and .glb files! These files make it easier to import into other programs. You can embed the textures right into the file, so that you have just one file to import. Another addition worth mentioning is that you can now select a specific vertex that may be overlapping other vertices. By holding Ctrl and left-clicking a tile, it will select the nearest vertex to your click. You can use this technique to select/deselect a specific vertex belonging to a tile.

• Added: Select nearest vertex on face when holding Ctrl and clicking the face. Useful for selecting a specific vertex when vertices overlap.
  
• Added: Shortcut keys to move/strafe the camera left or right horizontally (space+g and space+j).
