Properties
| Name | Description | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | A string representing the unique identifier for this instance within current file scope. | None | yes |
| url | A string representing the URI to a node definition to be used to construct this node. The given node and all of its descendants are instantiated (i.e. not just the single node, unless it has no children). | None | yes |
| parent | A string representing the URI to another scene node instance to attach to as a child. | None | no |
| parent_in_place | A string representing the URI to another scene node instance to attach to as a child, maintaining its world space transform. | None | no |
| conform_target | A string representing the URI to another node in the scene to follow. | None | no |
| geometries | An array of geometry_instance objects attached to this instance. | N/A | no |
| preview | A preview object to use as a stand-in if the node geometry cannot be found. | None | no |
Details
The parent of a node_instance must already exist in the scene or must have been created by parsing the current scene (i.e. parent nodes must appear before children nodes in a file).
Most properties of node can be overridden in node_instance. The only properties that cannot be overridden are id, type, and presentation.
Examples
This instantiates a previously defined node definition and overrides the label and translation properties.
{
"id" : "ball",
"url" : "basketball:/DAZ/Props/Balls.dsf#basketball",
"label" : "Ball",
"parent" : "hips:#hips",
"translation" : [ 1.00, 0.00, 1.00 ]
}
