Superphysical, material/color per instanced geometry

[io]

Following discussion in the Superphysical contribution https://vvvv.org/contribution/superphysical#comment-257144 about how to access single color or material when instancing geometries.
Resuming:

• at the moment it is not possible @mburk is working on it

• in the branch GitHub - michael-burk/SuperPhysical at Deferred+Forward there is “a material ID buffer, which specifies what material to use per instance”

this also comes from this other topic in Particles.DX11

hey. I’m planning to add a forward SuperPhysical version with instancing for such purposes, but that will take some time until I find the time to release this. So the second pass for colors seems like a good way to go for now.

I am missing a GetSlice(DX11.TextureArray to Array) node, not found on current DX11 nodes.

Hey. Thanks for moving this here. The GetSlice(DX11.TextureArray To Array) is new in DX11 version 1.3.1.
I just checked it out. Should be there.

A bit tricky but getting there…

there’s also a bugfix for the GetSlice(DX11.TextureArray to Array) node that’s important if you need proper mipmaps
