[x3d-public] SphereSet, InstancedShape colors for sphere clouds.

[John Carlson]

I recently shared this with Joe.  X_ITE’s InstancedShape might be useful
for creating point (sphere) clouds with MF scale and perhaps, an
MFColorRGBA.  Once color is implemented at the InstanceShape level this
might be suitable for a colored point (sphere) cloud with scale for
spheres. Holger would know more.  Applying colors at both an instance and
vertex of a mesh would certainly be weird, and probably an author error.
Perhaps there is room for an MFColorRGBA in an InstancedShape or a
SphereSet?

Is SphereSet (as GPU instances) something that could be standardized
potentially?

Anyone have an RTX 5090 for this?

John
