Fourteen ears got a third dimension

Most of the ears in the library were flat: two thin surfaces, which looks fine from the front and disappointing from the side. Fourteen of them are now built as real 3D shapes, and they’re in the library already.

The old flat ones didn’t go anywhere. New ears sit alongside them rather than replacing them, so nothing you’ve already built changes. The ears shelf went from 21 to 35.

They keep their numbers too — a 3D build of Ear16 is called 3DEar16, not Ear25. Same ear, same size, more of it. I measured that rather than trusting it: every 3D version has exactly the same bounding box as the flat original.

One thing I got wrong and had to redo: I shipped them without UV wraps enabled, so you couldn’t paint them. That’s fixed — they’re paintable now, like the flat ones.
