sounds absolutely retarded. You pay for lab time. Any grads from there that anyone's ever heard about?

Wrong, you dunce. You have instanced geometry for "foliage" in "modern" games and what does it end up looking like? Shit. It ends up looking like fucking the witcher 3 and ue4 kite demo. Just a bunch of folded planes waving in the wind, just generally looking like shit.

>and each instance is simply a xyz coordinate with rotation/scale values and an identifier for which object in memory it is an instance of
this is called an arbitary matrix, and not "rotation/scale values".

>All the instances will also share the same draw call as they are on the same material
There is no such thing as "material". There is a shader program. A call to draw isnt the same as a call to "change shader program" you dunce.
