    Bro I dont get it at all my brain is kinda melted. So you telling me instances are basically planes with another's object mesh? kinda of PC friendly copy?

    Just curious why parent to a plane (as opposed to an empty)? Love your videos - thank you for sharing this stuff.

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว +42

      Actually you could even use a single vertex and choose that as the instancing method. I prefer to use planes because they are easier to spot in the viewport when needed, but it is just down to personal preferences I guess 👍

      You can not use modifiers (i.e. array modifier) on empty object.

  • @TruthSurge
    @TruthSurge ปีที่แล้ว +1

    But you cannot edit or modify an instance. Right? You can only change a material or texture?

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว

      You can turn any instance into a real mesh (if you don't than no, you cannot edit it)

      @@hbitproject yeah, I guess that's the point. You get a copy but w/o having real polygons stored in the database to keep track of. Just a reference to that original data plus any new transforms I suppose. Well, thanks!

    This excellent. For years I've been confused about the limitations of instancing in blender but this video has changed my approach. It's too bad you can't use arrays on empties (seems more logical ) but a plane will do just fine !

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad it helped 👍. It would be really useful to have a "make instance" checkbox in the array modifier to begin with!

    Am I getting it right - parenting and instancing is used for keeping resources consumption low? I thought we can just use array modifier for that? Or maybe array modifier is way more heavy for PC?

    I wonder though will this be expensive in a game engine if its made like a game asset with its own baked texture and uv mapped

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you mate! Baking textures would be a problem I guess since instances are sharing the same UV map (the one of the original mesh). Have you though about creating a couple of variations of the pieces you want to be there for real and baking the rest on the normal map of the entablature? Have a nice day!

    Is the array modifier actually instancing? I was under the impression that it can't "instance" in the same way that other instancing works, where it actually references the original data. I do remember many times using the array modifier and it lagging out my PC

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it does. Try this: enable the statistics in the overlay panel and keep an eye on the poly count as you increase the number of iterations.

    why do you have to use a plane instead of the actual geometry? thx

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, I use the plane as an instancing object in order to easily place instances according to my needs (in this case, a simple straight array). You could certainly create and place instances manually, but I think that's unnecessarily convoluted.

    I'm new to blender so i wanted to ask how do you apply this one material to all those separate objects to manipulate material randomization of a whole scene ? Hope it makes any sense, cause i dont even know how to formulate a question. Thanks in advance!

      You can go in the "layers" panel (right side of the UI), scroll down to the overrides and just select the material you want to use. Hope it helps!

    so what does the option "instancing" actually do? like what happens when i put it on faces and why does it not consume performance?

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It creates an instance on each face of the parent object. It doesn't consume resources because with instances you are not copying also the underlying data of the original object over and over (as you would do instead with the normal shift-d duplicate)

    im so sorry but as a noob i fail to understand what you did more than using an array modifier? Cant i just combine the different parts and use array mod? the geometry nodes part and material part i understood but not the plane instance thing.

    • @hbitproject
      @hbitproject  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, the point is that in this way you are not copying over and over the data of the original mesh but only that of the instancing object (which is minimum in comparison)
