      + not sure about the cause, but Windows had quite some issues this week (Cloph)

       + patch is now in a state that it can import geometry of the 3D objects
       + question is: would we prefer to do the other parts in separate commits or want it in one big change
         + material + light + export is still to be done
         + probably better to do it in smaller steps (Miklos)
         + would like a review on this, the geometry is ready.
         + agree, good to have reviewers + get it in soon (Thorsten)

     + lots of discussion about flaky tests
     + no actual answer, though
     + heard about a policy: run a test 5 times before require it passing
       + an idea that could be considered
       + any Jenkins tool to do this? (Thorsten)
         + no, it's all manually controlled (Caolan)
