added 5 new user selectable environments * added a stabilized 1st person camera ** added operator controls for audience cameras *** * In addition to the original environment, we've added 5 new environments.

The other three, FogPillars, TangerineMoon, and WarmFlicker are more atmospheric, but come with a slightly higher performance overhead. The currently selected environment is saved along with the song, and the last selected environment is set as the default when starting a new composition, or when loading earlier songs without environment information (eg. the included demo songs). ** The default 1st person HMD view for the monitor mirror has b…
