- Move UCreateMeshObjectTypeProperties to ModelingComponents and update all include sites
- Added Editor Modeling Mode settings to Enable/Disable showing DynamicMeshActor creation options, and select default mesh object type. Removed CVarEnableDynamicMeshActors.
- Added optional 'Auto' output mesh type to UCreateMeshObjectTypeProperties. This can be used in Tools that have input objects and want to allow optional conversion, but default to 'just use input mesh object type'.
- Added ConvertMeshesTool, this does in-place conversion between Mesh Object types for a set of selected objects (Duplicate tool can also do this, but only for a single object, and functionality is expected to further diverge)
- Added SplitMeshesTool, decomposes a mesh into parts and creates a new output object for each part
- CombineMeshesTool now supports variable output object type. Cleaned up internals.

[CL 16768010 by Ryan Schmidt in ue5-main branch]
- ADynamicMeshActor type has a UDynamicMeshComponent subobject (similar to StaticMeshActor)
- Add IPersistentDynamicMeshSource, a ToolTarget Interface for accessing a UDynamicMesh
- Add UDynamicMeshComponentToolTarget, a UToolTarget implementing the above as well as various standard interfaces, to allow Tools to operate on an external DynamicMeshComponent
- Update UE::ToolTarget:: helper functions that get/commit via DynamicMesh to handle IPersistentDynamicMeshSource directly, instead of going via existing MeshDescription/DynamicMesh interfaces. Add UE::ToolTarget::SetSourceObjectVisible() helper function.
- Add support for creating DynamicMeshActors in UCreateMeshObjectTypeProperties and UEditorModelingObjectsCreationAPI
- register UDynamicMeshComponentToolTargetFactory in ModelingToolsEditorMode
- Rename existing internal ADynamicMeshActor to AOldDynamicMeshActor. Does not appear to be in use and will be removed in a future CL.

[CL 16735093 by Ryan Schmidt in ue5-main branch]
- Move ToolTarget implementations, DynamicMeshToVolume to ModelingComponentsEditorOnly module
- move VolumeToDynamicMesh, DynamicMeshProvider/Commiter interfaces to ModelingComponents module
- Add UCreateMeshObjectTypeProperties property set to expose mesh/volume options
- Add FCreateMeshObjectParams::TypeHintClass to allow AVolume type (or other UClass hints) to be passed to creation APIs
- Add UE::ToolTarget::ConfigureCreateMeshObjectParams() util function in ModelingToolTargetUtil, tries to determine output type in a FCreateMeshObjectParams based on input ToolTarget
- Add UEditorModelingObjectsCreationAPI::CreateVolume() implementation
- Add UEditorModelingObjectsCreationAPI::FilterMaterials() that strips out any internal materials and replaces with WorldGridMaterial. This occurs when (eg) subtracting a Volume from a StaticMesh, because the temporary volume mesh gets assigned internal materials, but the Tools don't know this. Use in EditorModelingObjectsCreationAPI when creating new objects. UStaticMeshComponentToolTarget also does this filtering in ::CommitMaterialSetUpdate().
- Add ::ComponentTypeSupportsCollision() function to ComponentCollisionUtil, use to avoid checks/ensures for Volume targets
- Add support for automatic mesh simplification in DynamicMeshToVolume. Add CVar to VolumeDynamicMeshToolTarget.h to control max triangle count (default 500). Apply auto-simplify when creating or updating an AVolume. This prevents the Editor from blocking for long periods on meshes that are too high-res for volumes (even 500 is quite high).
- DynamicMeshToVolume now emits polygroup-faces that contain holes (ie multiple boundary loops) as a set of triangles, rather than emitting separate overlapping faces for each boundary loop

Add support for submitting multiple UV channels to render buffers in UBaseDynamicMeshSceneProxy and USimpleDynamicMeshSceneProxy (currently not supported if there is a mesh decomposition, and not supported in fast UV updates).
Add support for visualizing different UV channels in UExistingMeshMaterialProperties.
Add UMeshUVChannelProperties property set for selecting from available UV channels.
Add support for arbitrary UV channels in ParameterizeMeshTool and UVLayoutTool/Op.

- fix broken sculpt material that went to white in many cases, replace with diffuse shading and rim light in Emissive channel / unlit texture
- add image-based sculpt materials provided by techart, expose custom variant that allows user-defined shader image
- make flat shading optional in view settings, for relevant shaders
- reorganize properties and update tooltips to be more informative
- fix broken Falloff support and expose in property set, display in brush highlight. Make this separately exposable in BaseBrush property set since we don't need Strength.
- add viewpoint-based Sculpt and Plane brush modes
- fix brush preview location when in hover, was not respecting target surface setting
