Parent of all visual 3D nodes.
The [VisualInstance3D] is used to connect a resource to a visual representation. All visual 3D nodes inherit from the [VisualInstance3D]. In general, you should not access the [VisualInstance3D] properties directly as they are accessed and managed by the nodes that inherit from [VisualInstance3D]. [VisualInstance3D] is the node representation of the [RenderingServer] instance.
Returns the [AABB] (also known as the bounding box) for this [VisualInstance3D].
Returns the RID of the resource associated with this [VisualInstance3D]. For example, if the Node is a [MeshInstance3D], this will return the RID of the associated [Mesh].
Returns the RID of this instance. This RID is the same as the RID returned by [method RenderingServer.instance_create]. This RID is needed if you want to call [RenderingServer] functions directly on this [VisualInstance3D].
Returns [code]true[/code] when the specified layer is enabled in [member layers] and [code]false[/code] otherwise.
Returns the transformed [AABB] (also known as the bounding box) for this [VisualInstance3D]. Transformed in this case means the [AABB] plus the position, rotation, and scale of the [Node3D]'s [Transform].
Sets the resource that is instantiated by this [VisualInstance3D], which changes how the engine handles the [VisualInstance3D] under the hood. Equivalent to [method RenderingServer.instance_set_base].
Enables a particular layer in [member layers].
- The render layer(s) this [VisualInstance3D] is drawn on. This object will only be visible for [Camera3D]s whose cull mask includes the render object this [VisualInstance3D] is set to.
