UniformGroupNode

This node can be used to group single instances of UniformNode and manage them as a uniform buffer.

In most cases, the predefined nodes objectGroup, renderGroup and frameGroup will be used when defining the UniformNode#groupNode property.

  • objectGroup: Uniform buffer per object.
  • renderGroup: Shared uniform buffer, updated once per render call.
  • frameGroup: Shared uniform buffer, updated once per frame.
