Instance

This module will be moved to @threlte/extras at some point in the future. Please read the update notice.

Every <Instance> component nested in an <InstancedMesh> component resembles one instance. An <Instance> can therefore only be used as a child component to a <InstancedMesh> component. The <Instance> component can be transformed and colorized individually:

<InstancedMesh {geometry} {material}>
  <Instance position={{ x: 5 }} scale={1} />
  <Instance position={{ z: 2 }} scale={2} color="red" />
</InstancedMesh>

Examples

The properties position, rotation and scale work just like with every other threlte component, color is passed on to the THREE.Color constructor.

Provide an id to use multiple <InstancedMesh> components:

<InstancedMesh id="tree" geometry={treeGeometry} material={treeMaterial}>
  <InstancedMesh id="leaf" geometry={leafGeometry} material={leafMaterial}>
    <Group position={{ x: 1 }}>
      <Instance id="tree" /> // Instance of InstancedMesh with id="tree"
      <Instance id="leaf" /> // Instance of InstancedMesh with id="leaf"
    </Group>

    <Group position={{ x: -2 }}>
      <Instance id="tree" />
      <Instance id="leaf" />
    </Group>
  </InstancedMesh>
</InstancedMesh>
