Shows the use of instancing for rendering many copies of the same mesh.
The app can be controlled using:

| Up arrow | small instance count increase |
| Down arrow | small instance count decrease |
| Left arrow | instance count decrease |
| Right arrow | instance count increase |
| Q | large instance count decrease |
| E | large instance count increase |
| R | Toggle rotate on/off |
| Space | Set default values |
