Basic 3D Scene (Falling Shapes)

The next step after the basic 3D scene: thirty shapes of five kinds and five colours, dropped in a column that topples into a pile. It adds a loop, a list of shapes with a colour each, and a material per colour. Bepu physics does the rest. The 2D twin, E01_2D_FallingShapes, drops the same shapes in the same colours.

The Program.cs file shows how to:

Creating many 3D primitives in a loop with CreatePrimitive
A list of shape types with a colour each
Applying a material with CreateMaterial
Positioning entities so that they fall into a pile
Using helpers: SceneSetup3D, UseSkybox, AddGrabber
