Sprite3DPlus for Godot

this add-on adds two new nodes, the Sprite3DBillBoard node and the SimpleSprite3DBillBoard node, the two nodes will be explained in detail below:

SimpleSprite3DBillBoard

It is the simplest version of the Sprite3DBillboard node, as its name indicates it, this node works like the Sprite3D node, but adapted so that you show in a billboard of 8 directions, like in the game doom.

This node has the following properties:

1. Sprite: this property stores the texture of the sprite sheet.

2. Sprite Scale: this property modifies the scale of the mesh with respect to the sprite.

3. Rows and Columns: it is the amount of rows and columns that compose the sprite sheet.

4. Invert row columns: it is a boolean that modifies the reading of the sprite sheet.

5. Mode: this property changes the rendering mode, there are two rendering modes.

6. Frame: modifies the frame of the sprite animation.

Sprite3DBillBoard

This node is similar to its simple version, with the difference that it supports multiple sprite sheets (known as "animation data") in an array.

The properties are shown below:

1. Animations Array: it is the array that contains all the animations for sprites, this is stored through the resource called AnimationData.
2. Update Animation: this boolean works as a button to update the animations in the interface.
3. Animation: this enum is used to switch between animations in the Animations Array.
4. Frame and Sprite Scale: it works similar to its simple version.

Sprite Sheet Recommendation

It is recommended that the sprite sheets follow the following layout:

1. if invert_rows_columns is false

2. if invert_rows_columns is true
