A brief overview of rendering attributes and a hip file using all types of instancing: Object, Shader, Light and Shadow instancing.

This project is an introduction to vm_light, vm_shadow, vm_surface, vm_displace, pscale and instance attributes.

Houdini recognizes special attributes for rendering, which is very useful when instancing:


vm_light

    * applying a light shader attribute


vm_shadow

    * applying a shadow shader attribute


vm_surface

    * applying a surface shader attribute


vm_displace

    * applying a displace shader attribute


pscale

    * scale of geometry or points


instance

    * geometry to instance to points

These can all be used together to create highly efficient scenes that would normally be much heavier in memory and render time. The file below contains all types of instancing in one project.
