Hi Pilou, instancing is a method of managing a large number of copies of the same object.

OK before an hypothetic instancing ...we can't simulate that ?
with copy to point by you
& VClone by MaxSMirnov

Vclone replaces the vector with the object with size and orientation!

Hi Pilou,

Hi Pilou, yes you can simulate some aspects but the main thing that the simulation is missing is efficency in data size.

With instancing each "instance" is handled by maintaining the insertion point and not making a full separate object copy.
