natiny_material_set_instanced

void natiny_material_set_instanced(NatinyMaterial material, bool instanced);

Makes the material able to draw many copies of a mesh in one draw call. The shader is not changed: the engine compiles an instanced form of it automatically.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`material`	`NatinyMaterial`	Material handle from `natiny_material_create`
`instanced`	`bool`	`true` compiles and keeps the instanced forms; `false` releases them

Example

NatinyMaterial stone = natiny_material_create(lit_shader);
natiny_material_add_tag(stone, "world");
natiny_material_set_instanced(stone, true);

for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
    NatinyModel model = natiny_model_create();
    natiny_model_set_mesh(model, house);
    natiny_model_set_material(model, stone);
    natiny_entity_set_position(model, NATINY_SPACE_WORLD, i * 12.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
}

/* inside a camera bind: the 500 houses are one draw per mesh part */
natiny_render_tag("world", NATINY_SORT_MATERIAL);
