    Hi Guys,

    As the title suggests, I'm interested to know if there's any substitute for how, traditionally, we'd use MaterialPropertyBlock to assign new values to MeshRenderers using materials that are GPU instanced. Does ECS support this in any way?

    Forum search by "Material Property Block" so many results.
    One of the latest for RenderSystemV2:

    And much more for previous MeshInstanceRendererSystem.
    Also latest extracted form Nordeus demo GPUAnimation by Joachim avoiding MPB and using ComputeBuffers instead
