Advanced Rendering in Decentraland

Authoring split

Billboard, TextShape, Material, MeshRenderer, GltfContainer, VisibilityComponent, and GltfNodeModifiers are all supported in main-entities.ts — declare the visual entity (sign, label, billboard, glowing prop, model with per-node overrides) fully there with its visual components. Examples below that show engine.addEntity() followed by Transform.create + MeshRenderer / Billboard / TextShape are pre-main-entities.ts patterns — translate them by moving the entity declaration into main-entities.ts and keeping only runtime modifications (e.g., VisibilityComponent.getMutable(entity).visible = false) in src/index.ts.

// Example: floating label
// main-entities.ts
shop_label: {
  components: {
    Transform: { position: { x: 8, y: 3, z: 8 } },
    TextShape: { text: 'OPEN', fontSize: 4, textColor: { r: 1, g: 1, b: 1, a: 1 } },
    Billboard: { billboardMode: 7 }  // BM_ALL
  }
}
