Custom resources / models

[ptheywood]

Non stock resources are accessed by path, realtive to the working directory.

Executables are not alwasy called from the same location, so this is limiting. Allowing a list of paths to search is a potential alternative?

I.e. in an individual model repository (based on the template), if a resource is placed into resources/cylinder_geom.obj, this binary must be called from the repository root, rather than build (or any level deeper, or higher).

Alternatively, a way of packing resources into the binary at the CMake level could be good.

This willl probably need changes in both repos given how the vis headers are spread around.

Yeah this would be nice, should be possible to define a var, which is fed into the vis compilation's resource list. Albeit not 100% sure how at this point in time.

Probably not suitable for larger resources (e.g. if someone has a 200mb static model they want to include).
