LibCloak is a C++ library for efficient management of resources for GUIs, games, and other applications that use a large number of resources (such as images, sounds, etc).

It features automatic loading of different types of files, remote loading via FTP and HTTP and resource generation for complex resources composed of a number of other resources.

For example, you can have 3D models of human heads, arms, torsos, etc; and create a single class plugin that allows you to generate any configurable body you want. All intermediate resources are also cached in memory for as long as they are useful, and cleaned up when they are no longer needed.
