Remarks

This node allows the application to provide a per-instance parameter of any type, using an OIV.Inventor.Devices.SoBufferObject. It is used with the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleInstance node.

Some predefined parameter names can be used for common instance parameters like position, rotation and scale factor. Parameter objects with these names are automatically managed and are recognized and used by the default shaders. Applications can define additional parameter objects to be used by custom shaders.

See the base classes OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShaderParameter, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoVertexShaderParameter and OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoVertexShaderParameterBufferObject for more details.

Note: Unlike OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoVertexShaderParameter, instances of this node must be added to the parameters field of an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleInstance node, not directly in the scene graph.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

InstanceParameter {
name ""
identifier 0
value NULL
components 4
