+ Set all data related to the instances in one go. This is especially useful when loading the data from disk or preparing the data from GDNative.
+ All data is packed in one large float array. An array may look like this: Transform for instance 1, color data for instance 1, custom data for instance 1, transform for instance 2, color data for instance 2, etc...
+ [Transform] is stored as 12 floats, [Transform2D] is stored as 8 floats, COLOR_8BIT / CUSTOM_DATA_8BIT is stored as 1 float (4 bytes as is) and COLOR_FLOAT / CUSTOM_DATA_FLOAT is stored as 4 floats.
