Hello guys,
I have a scene where I load a mesh via asset container to make use of instantiateModelsToScene(). Unfortunately I encountered a problem here. I want to use the same node material for all the instantiated meshes. But this leads break the functionality of separated animations.
Even though I added the instances block to my node material: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#7
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Best
I don’t think this is related to instances, because it happens for single meshes too, with any node material: Available Mesh BrainStem | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com). Probably related to skinning? I’ll have to ping @bghgary again for that 
Oooh, you’ll have to add the bones in the material for it to work: Node Materials and animated meshes. (4.1) - Questions - Babylon.js (babylonjs.com)
Hi @samevision
Like this? https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#10. The problem is the cloned animation groups for eyes are not started. I manually triggered play and it worked. The rest of the mesh were actually started, but you didn’t set a different position so their anim are overlapped with the original model.
@carolhmj is correct. instantiateModelsToScene is cloning, not instancing.
Yep adding the proper bone nodes solves the issue, there’s already an example on the linked question but here’s a simpler one: Babylon.js Node Material Editor (babylonjs.com)
Available Mesh BrainStem | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)
This function will instance when possible or clone otherwise.
Despite adding all of it, there is still smthg wrong with the eyes https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#13
But I added the bones block already - not working

The eyes are not my problem here. My problem is that with node material the animation are played synchronously. But I want to be able to play them separately.
With node material: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#15
Without node material: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#16
As you can see without node material the animations are separated. They second one has a delay of one second due to the timeout.
It seems that the missing morph target block caused this problem. It’s working now

The eyes are still broken.
Ohhhh
It was too early. It is working with the alien model but I noticed that my model is still not working properly.
Alien - this is how it should look like (animations can be played independently): https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#19
My model - animations are running synchronously (if you check the animation groups at inspector you will see that the first animation group animates both meshes and the second one does nothing): https://playground.babylonjs.com/#8RJEY8#18
What’s wrong with my model or node material?
Eyes will be fixed by NME Fixes by sebavan · Pull Request #12172 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub You ll be able to try out on your other models as soon as it as shipped.
