Detailed Description

Instanced rendering allows duplicating a model with variations.

The Instancing type defines a table that specifies how each instance is modified relative to the base model. The table has an entry for each index, containing a transform matrix, a color, and generic data for use by custom materials. To use instancing, set a model's instancing property to reference an Instancing object.

An application can define an Instancing object in C++ by subclassing QQuick3DInstancing, or it can use one of the pre-defined QML types: InstanceList or RandomInstancing.

Property Documentation

hasTransparency : bool

Set this property to true if the instancing table contains alpha values that should be used when rendering the model. This property only makes a difference if the model is opaque: If the model has a transparent material, or an opacity less than one, the alpha value from the table will be used regardless.

Note: Enabling alpha blending may cause rendering issues when instances overlap. See the alpha blending and instancing documentation for details.

instanceCountOverride : int

Set this property to limit the number of instances without regenerating or re-uploading the instance table. This allows very inexpensive animation of the number of instances rendered.
