Would it be possible to have instances remain in tact in the GLB export?

Hey!

NGE outputs a geometry not a mesh. So the instantiate will generate geometries only as well. It is not generating multiples instances

The glTF exporter currently does not deal with instances at all. It will duplicate everything. I have local changes that fixes this, but it will be a while before it can be merged.
