How do instances work.


Recommended Posts

Do I understand this correctly if I modify instance object scale with instance() it is no longer an instance but a bunch of modified copies in IFD file. In this case I'd rather should use Copy SOP to achieve the same result in the IFD (I'm sure instance will have smaller memmory footprint in the Houdini interface, but my question is just about IFD that will be generated) However, if I modify some material parameters in Material SOP then these will be true instances and only material overrides will get exported to an IFD?
