Hi everyone,

Please see: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#9BVW2S#73](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#9BVW2S#73)

The right ball is the instance. Click on it a couple of times. Then check the uvspace-texture in the inspector. Is that the camera? That is not right, is it?

Best wishes  
Joe

Decal map is not supported for instances, as all instances of a mesh are drawn with the same material (the one from the source mesh) and the decal map (texture) is part of the material.
