Lock the position of 3D models for comments

When reviewing a 3D model, you can lock a specific view of it to your comment so that a user reading it can clearly see what you mean. For a model with a skeleton (also known as rigging), you can show the skeleton view in the comment. For an animated 3D model, you can select the animation you want to show and lock the timestamp of the animation in the comment. For 3D models with a wireframe, you can show the wireframe and select the color of the wireframe in the comment. For 3D models with a vertex color, you can show it in the comment.

The current view of the 3D model is added to your comment when you click the Add a comment field.
