Integrating BPMX Model Files into Private PNG Chunks to Display Previews about babylon-mmd HOT 4 OPEN

Cool idea, I've seen something like that at Koikatsu.

But what exactly are the compatibility issues and is this a feature you really need?

I'm concerned about the increase in bundle size due to the addition of these features

There are benefits to being able to immediately recognize which model is depicted in a preview image:

1. When someone shares a PNG file online, and I can directly see what the content will be, I am more likely to download it compared to an unfamiliar file format.

2. Typically, modern operating systems already display a preview of PNG files. If you have many models stored in a folder on your computer, it would be more convenient to see a preview of each model directly in order to differentiate them without needing to load each of them into a program.

Therefore, in my opinion, this file format within a png would likely achieve higher user acceptance and spread more quickly in forums and similar venues. However, the increased bundle size is indeed a significant point of criticism:
I have used "pngjs," which should already include the "crc32" library. Currently, pngjs has a transpiled size of 4.23 KB.

Sorry, "compatibility issues" was an inaccurate ai translation.

4KB is huge. The bpmx format is a format I made for fast load, so if there's a big overhead here, there's no reason to use it
