Let’s say I wanna color each instance of a sphere a different color. Is there a way to do that? Note: I need to use instanced static meshes, NOT a bunch of static meshes with unique material instances.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I know it’s an old post, but I ran into the similar problem. I believe this video can help you go around making logic to per-instance static meshes. I don’t know if you are dealing with foliage or some sort, but maybe it will help you guide through to add logic to individual instanced static meshes.
