How we should use Resources in the new ECS

[D4rWiNSS]

Context

In the current ECS we are treating the resources as components (Materials, DCLTexture...etc) and that is creating something different from a pure ECS, because some components need other components to work. For example, a PBRMaterial component needs a shape component to work.

I think that we should separate the resources from the components since we are coupling component dependency.

Open question

Should we keep them this way or treat them as a totally different thing?

Things to have into account

• We should give the devs complete control of the resources so they can load/unload as they want.
• Devs should be able to prewarm a resource if they want to

Code example

Right now we are assign a material this way
`const myMaterial = new Material()
myMaterial.albedoColor = Color3.Blue()
myMaterial.roughness = 1
myMaterial.specularIntensity = 0
myMaterial.metallic = 0

const entity = new Entity()
entity.addComponent(myMaterial)`

It can look something like this
`const myMaterial = new Material()
myMaterial.albedoColor = Color3.Blue()
myMaterial.roughness = 1
myMaterial.specularIntensity = 0
myMaterial.metallic = 0

const entity = new Entity()
const planeShape = new PlaneShape()
planeShape.setMaterial(myMaterial)

entity.addComponent(planeShape)`
