Hi,

I'm getting back to work on my old voxel project, and first thing to do is to get it up to date with Unity and MagicaVoxel.

I thought I could work on MagicaVoxelUnity on parallel and get it working again.

Here are a few changes that come to my mind :

• Remove unused/outdated/not working stuff (shaders, SSAO, alphamask - thinking about it, that was a bad idea).
• I made a new repository to create a generic C# vox file reader (not dependant on Unity3D). I'm going to use it in my own project, and I could integrate it to MagicaVoxel if you are ok with that, so that upcoming vox format changes are dealt once instead of each project. This shouldn't be hard.
• Add UV data to meshes so that it can work with Unity Standard Shaders (we can still set vertex color so that anyone can use his own shader) and use MagicaVoxel palettes png as textures.
• maybe a few other changes

What do you think @darkfall ?

• Repository clean up
• Update the project to Unity 2017.2
• Add UV data to meshes
• Render models with Unity's default shader (I still need to work on on the fly texture generation from the model palette)

All this was actually pretty quick. Also, I'll add a tutorial on the wiki about SSAO

@barraudf all these are good ideas! I'll be happy to merge the changes if you would like to.

I think @ephtracy haven't updated the documentation of .vox format as of 0.99a. I've heard he is going to make a plugin system for exporting models, that will make the integration easier : )

I may push something tonight.

Yeah, I asked him on twitter, documentation will come later :(

PR done.

I've not changed anything regarding the vox file reading using my new repository. I may give it a try once documentation is updated.
