Re: Why does DEF do instancing?

But it isn't hard to do a workaround.
Just put another Separator around the DEF node, in which you do a translation.
So your example would look like:

Separator {
Transform { ... somewhere }
DEF RedSphere Separator {
Material {
emissiveColor 1 0 0
}
sphere { }
}
}

Separator {
Transform { ... an other place }
USE RedSphere
}

Hope that helps,
Thomas
