Parent of all visual 3D nodes.
The [VisualInstance] is used to connect a resource to a visual representation. All visual 3D nodes inherit from the [VisualInstance]. In general, you should not access the [VisualInstance] properties directly as they are accessed and managed by the nodes that inherit from [VisualInstance]. [VisualInstance] is the node representation of the [VisualServer] instance.
Returns the [AABB] (also known as the bounding box) for this [VisualInstance]. See also [method get_transformed_aabb].
Returns the RID of the resource associated with this [VisualInstance]. For example, if the Node is a [MeshInstance], this will return the RID of the associated [Mesh].
Returns the RID of this instance. This RID is the same as the RID returned by [method VisualServer.instance_create]. This RID is needed if you want to call [VisualServer] functions directly on this [VisualInstance].
Returns [code]true[/code] when the specified layer is enabled in [member layers] and [code]false[/code] otherwise.
Returns the transformed [AABB] (also known as the bounding box) for this [VisualInstance]. Transformed in this case means the [AABB] plus the position, rotation, and scale of the [Spatial]'s [Transform]. See also [method get_aabb].
Sets the resource that is instantiated by this [VisualInstance], which changes how the engine handles the [VisualInstance] under the hood. Equivalent to [method VisualServer.instance_set_base].
Enables a particular layer in [member layers].
- The render layer(s) this [VisualInstance] is drawn on. This object will only be visible for [Camera]s whose cull mask includes the render object this [VisualInstance] is set to.
