Per instance Material data from a Processor to Instanced Static Meshes sample

[PreyK]

Added a sample & demo on how to handle instanced static mesh entities with per-instance custom data.
#35
Every entity gets a random float it can use in its material.

Cool!! I'll merge it now, but I will move it around shortly when I make the whole Mass Sample into a plugin. I might do something a bit like your original usecase of a farm of sorts as an example in the future. What kind of crop do you think we should grow?

Yeah, I agree, a practical example would be so much better just wanted to make something quick in the meantime in case anyone looking for a sample on this.
On the crop side, I couldn't really find animated growing crop models with a CC license but it would be super cool!

We could figure out the anim to texture plugin in unreal, bake the animation to a texture and play it back via Mass ISM-s as they grow.
For example

I usually use this model for testing my plant systems/stuff, sadly it's a paid one.
But I could make something simple like wheat, corn, or sunflower via material animation, I'm currently mostly researching mass anyway :D

Hello, I used your gesture in 5.2 and found that when I add custom data, I get an error. Could you please take a look
