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 ]
}
