Varying Mesh Instances with color, animation and textures - Video Tutorial
Creating Mesh Instance geometry clouds is a lot of fun, but how do you change the appearance and colors of each mesh? Here are a few techniques to get you started with experimenting and finding new approaches to animating, coloring, and texturing instanced geometry!
