Hi so i’ve been trying to learn instancing and its going pretty ok so far untill i ran into this …

if you look at the top part this is my tree model loaded normally and it looks fine … below however is an instancedMesh of that same model but the fog seems to be more strong? OR it might not even be the fog either because i have flashing lights that glow on the leaves and this light doesn’t seem to be affecting the instancedmesh in anyway has anyone come across this before with instancing?
i mean the material and geo are the same so surely it should look the same? like you can hardly even see the instancedMesh version:

I’m not aware of any reason that THREE.InstancedMesh should be affected by light or fog differently than THREE.Mesh, assuming both have the same material. Is this something you could reproduce in a demo and file as a bug?
