Love your videos, somehow they always seem aligned with my own journey so there's a bunch I can relate and learn from. Instancing is exactly what I'm on with - or should I say should be on with, I've somehow wound up being totally sidelined by trying to use fonts in OpenGL. Loving the solutions, and as always well edited videos. Keep on chipping away!

Thanks, good luck to you as well!

God tier video as always, but why did you made instance pools for each specific type, wouldn't that be bad if one type has much more instances than others? Would it be possible to group instances for each specific chunk or something?

I wanted to avoid clumping different geometry types into one structure since they never are treated as the same type (due to base models being completely different I would still need to keep track of how many instances for each type I have and I can't render 2 different models mixed in one batch anyway). If I wanted to properly multithread this I would need to come up with some sort of a solution to split into batches for each thread to equalize the load, but I would still avoid using one large pool, because there is much more room for mistakes and accidentally accessing model of a different type would result in some sort of corrupted rendering rather than a crash (which is easier to debug).

DirectX API is quite nice. Instance rendering in it is quite a bit easier then with OpenGL. But OpenGL has errors.
