New Features Support

• Vertex Color.
• Quaternion Rotation.
• Variation Shader and its Texture Shaders/Layers.

API Changes

• Complete refactoring of SDK headers for better overview and usage:
  • Separate header for each class
  • Main include is c4d.h
  • Custom data classes moved to c4d_customdatatype folder
  • Utilities classes (BaseArray, BaseSort etc.) headers moved to c4d_misc folder
