		Node that instances a [MultiMesh].
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[MultiMeshInstance3D] is a specialized node to instance [GeometryInstance3D]s based on a [MultiMesh] resource.
		This is useful to optimize the rendering of a high number of instances of a given mesh (for example trees in a forest or grass strands).
