Example

carBatch.submit_object(OCar, [matCar], function (_data, _index) {
   // Position
   _data[@ _index] = x;
   _data[@ _index + 1] = y;
   _data[@ _index + 2] = z;
   // Uniform scale
   _data[@ _index + 3] = image_xscale;
   // Rotation
   new BBMOD_Quaternion()
       .FromAxisAngle(BBMOD_VEC3_UP, image_angle)
       .ToArray(_data, _index + 4);
   // ID
   _data[@ _index + 8] = ((id & $000000FF) >> 0) / 255;
   _data[@ _index + 9] = ((id & $0000FF00) >> 8) / 255;
   _data[@ _index + 10] = ((id & $00FF0000) >> 16) / 255;
   _data[@ _index + 11] = ((id & $FF000000) >> 24) / 255;
});
