Auto-downloads the Khronos Fox sample on first run. Fox is a small rigged,
skinned model that ships three baked animation clips (Survey, Walk, Run);
this viewer imports it with ``import_gltf``, drives its skeleton with an
``AnimationPlayer`` playing the Run cycle on a loop, and orbits a Camera3D
around it under a DirectionalLight3D so the motion is visible.

Asset references use the canonical ``Resource(package, name)`` form, which
resolves through ``importlib.resources``. The ``Fox`` directory under
``examples/features/3d/assets/`` is a real Python package (it ships an empty
``__init__.py``); we add ``examples/features/3d/assets`` to ``sys.path`` so
the package is importable even when the demo is launched via a bare file path.

## What it demonstrates
  - Importing a rigged, skinned glTF model with ``import_gltf``
  - Locating the imported skeleton and its baked SkeletalAnimationClips
  - Driving the skeleton with an ``AnimationPlayer`` playing a clip on loop
  - A fixed DirectionalLight3D + auto-orbiting Camera3D framing the model

Controls:
    Left-click drag: orbit camera
    Scroll wheel: zoom in/out
    Escape: quit

Usage:
    uv run python examples/features/3d/animated_model.py
