This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Godot lightmapper works with one texture per mesh, so sharing UVs between meshes will not give you more optimization.

Shaders are used to create many effects, like “water”, “fire” and more. In order to understand them and become a wizard/witch, we have to learn a bit about meshes first. A mesh is made (usually!) You can see the mesh as the structure of your object, built by combining its triangles together. Shaders Theory.

This is being implemented by facilitating object instance binding data. That meant, that you couldn't inherit directely, but now that it's possible to create per-object binding data, it is possible to create wrapper classes that are proper classes , which can be inherited!

Flagging instances or geometries as opaque allows uninterrupted hardware intersection search and prevents invocation of the any-hit shader. Enable the use of any-hit shaders only for those geometries that need it; for example, to do alpha testing. Consider representing mesh particles as instances in TLAS.

Named binds ensure that, as long as the bone name exists, the mesh will be able to bind to it. There are plenty of APIs in Godot that do this for efficiency, like names, method names, property names, class names, animation names, shader parameter names, skeleton bone names, translations keys, etc (the list is very long actually).
