**Tags:** `3d`

Demonstrates that MeshInstance3D renders correctly when parented to:
1. Scene root directly (baseline)
2. Node3D intermediate
3. KinematicBody3D
4. StaticBody3D
5. StaticBody3D with collision shape
6. Many objects (transform buffer scaling)

Run: uv run python examples/features/3d/mesh_parenting.py
