Description

Entity3D.animate() raises NotImplementedError with the message "Entity3D.animate() not yet implemented". This is inconsistent with the 2D UIDrawable types (Frame, Caption, Sprite, Grid) which all support .animate().

Reproduction

import mcrfpy
viewport = mcrfpy.Viewport3D(pos=(0,0), size=(100,100))
viewport.set_grid_size(16, 16)
entity = mcrfpy.Entity3D(pos=(5,5), scale=1.0)
viewport.entities.append(entity)
entity.animate('x', 10.0, 2.0, mcrfpy.Easing.EASE_IN_OUT)
# NotImplementedError: Entity3D.animate() not yet implemented

Expected Behavior

Entity3D should support animating at least its pos (x, z), scale, and color properties, matching the animation API available on 2D UI types.

Impact

The village demo and other 3D demos cannot use smooth property animations on entities. Workaround: manually interpolate in a timer callback.

Found during village integration demo development.
