Instanced geometry

A limitation exists where FBX does not support instanced geometries that have materials that differ from the original geometry object.

NoteWhile instanced geometries are supported, materials differences are not. For example, if two instances of a geometry have colors A (original object color) and B, once exported to FBX, both will share color A
