Render entities

[llbit]

It would be great if entities could be rendered.

Entity support would enable rendering these things:

• [ ] Mobs
  • [ ] Copper golem
  • [ ] placeholder for all other not yet supported mobs
• [ ] Animals
  • [x] Sheep
  • [x] Cow
  • [x] Pig
  • [x] Chicken
  • [x] Mooshroom
  • [x] Squid
  • [ ] placeholder for all other not yet supported animals
• [x] Paintings
• [x] Signs with proper text
• [x] The book hovering over enchanting tables
• [x] The book on lecterns
• [ ] Ender crystals
• [ ] Particles
• [x] Beacon beam effect
• [x] Head blocks

Static objects are a priority due to higher benefit/effort ratio. Mobs would need a posing interface. Initially poses could be coded in scene settings, and some presets can be a simple in-between measure.

I'd suggest a way to move/pose mobs in the Preview Window to make it easier to stage a render. We could make this a separate feature, though. There's ways to do it ingame already.

Current progress:

• ✔Paintings
• ✔Text on signs
• ✔Mob heads

could we get a way to disable loading entities in the config file for us headless people?

@jason-green-io I have added the renderActors scene variable now in the scene.json file, which currently does not have a corresponding UI element.

Great news, thanks Jesper!

I'm guessing this thread is the explanation as to why my armor stands, item frames, etc. never render?

Some animals are now rendered in the latest 2.5.0 snapshots. 🎉
