Add BBCode to Label3D

[elvisish]

Describe the project you are working on

Walking simulator where I need to highlight certain letters in a Label3D.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

Label3D has no way of changing the color on specific letters, that I know of.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

BBCode would be implemented as it is for RichTextLabel.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

It would just be possible to enable and use BBCode in Label3D.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Not that I know of.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

Not that I know of.

BBCode rendering is very complex and that's why there's a distinction between Label and RichTextLabel in the first place. For more advanced use-cases it may be worth to fetch the ViewportTexture from a Viewport that only contains the RichTextLabel inside.

Thanks, I'll use that technique in the meantime, it would be convenient if it were possible though.

You can also use the approach used in the Labels and Texts demo for laying out several Label3Ds relative to each other: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-demo-projects/blob/master/3d/labels_and_texts/label_3d_layout.gd

I have many, many letters I need to re-color so that would be really difficult possibly with this approach, I wonder how performant using viewport textures is for projecting RichTextLabels in 3D space?
