Questions on Hardware Instancing

I got how you can do instancing with position. But how would instancing with color work ? And could you do both at once ?

Hi @Bfischlin, check the following thread on how to customize colors per instance:

Hardware instancing and color

Hi, I’m building a football stadium with thousands of moving plane primitives in the stands, that comprise a card stunt system. Each one will be coloured with a single colour, and will basically act like a pixel in an image, and when assembled together, they’ll recreate that image. I also want to be able to change the image, so in a “wave”, cards will gradually flip around and change to a new colour to reveal a new image within a second or two. I’m using hardware instancing, as explained here:…

For your other question instancing can work with any kind of model. What is important here is to enable instancing per mesh instance. So if you have two different models, you will have to go through the process twice, for each model/mesh instance.
