More complicated 3d scene example

[JMS55]

What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?

When developing new rendering features, we need test scenes. Bevy's current 3d examples are generally too simple, often exercising only one specific feature. Something like bistro is too heavy for quick iteration, and more complicated to setup (not a simple cargo run --example).

What solution would you like?

Add a new 3d example scene with medium complexity.

Important requirements:

• Static meshes, using normal maps and materials
• Dynamic meshes, that move around the scene in a set pattern
  • Should be able to pause their movement with a hotkey
• Transparent meshes
• Alpha-masked meshes
• Large meshes that block other meshes (for depth related testing) (e.g., a pillar)
• Point lights and directional lights
• Controllable camera
  • Perspective/Orthographic projection toggle
• Not too large/demanding- shouldn't be bigger than a room or two, and quick to load/run
  • Perhaps 1 indoor, 1 outdoor scene
• Multiple viewports
• Developer options - toggle for debug visualizations, turning specific features on or off, logs, etc

A good starting point would be to build on example/tools/scene_viewer.rs.

The Khronos glTF samples have a lot of samples that are good for testing features work correctly. The alpha masking/blending one is really good.

I am interested in tackling this! I noticed in the style guide for examples it states:

Try to avoid adding new assets unless strictly necessary to keep the repo small. Don't add "large" asset files.

To keep asset count low, should I attempt to make most of the scene with shape primitives? Or should I attempt to make a single glTF scene composed of the requirements listed?
