                hardware instancing.
                @see BaseInstanceBatchVTF and @see InstanceBatchHW

                The advantage over TextureVTF technique, is that this implements a basic culling algorithm
                to avoid useless processing in vertex shader and uses a lot less VRAM and memory bandwidth

                Basically it has the benefits of both TextureVTF (skeleton animations) and HWInstancingBasic
                (lower memory consumption and basic culling) techniques
