Find identical geometry and instance it

Everybody who have imported large amount of data from any cad system know that it normally kills the instancing. The intention of this script is to find geometrically identical nodes and instance them. This script will of course work if someone have used copy instead of instance in a scene and wants them instanced instead.

Added 2015:
I'm happy to see that so many have tried out my Sunday hack that I made 5 years ago...but as it was only something to do for a Sunday its not really something I support. I would love to, but my daytime job takes all my time ;-)

Finds instances of the selected object and does various things to them such as selecting them - printing their names - etc.

Scatter a list of objects across a surface, you can make them randomly change the scale, rotation and tilt. For example placing trees, plants, rocks, etc.

Find identical objects (to chosen one) and instance them.

Instance Identical Geometry

What's new in version 2.0 :

  • process multiple (selected) objects at once
  • rollout (with pick button) removed
  • the script rewritten as macros

Instance tool analyze the geometry objects in the scene and finds groups of objects that could be represented as instances of one of them. Then the user can turn every group into actual instances and choose which object from the group will be preserved. The objects in the group are objects that have the same topology (could be morph targets of one another) and the difference between them could be described with transformation alone.

Very useful script for interior visualisation (cafe, bars, restaurants): add lights, change chairs/ tables, put tableware on many tables, e.t.c.

1. Pick object to clone

2. Select targets, click pick targets -> ok

3. Choose align method:

- CenterXYZ

- ZCenterXY (Align minZ of source to maxZ targets)

- Pivot align

- match all transform

After execute new objects will be selected. U can select target objects (to hide or delete).

Little utility to copy/instance and parent many objects at once

A toolbar button that replaces the selected objects with instances of the object you pick after hitting the button. In other words - a UI version of maxscript's InstanceReplace command.

Script makes instances of picked main object from all selected objects.
Target objects can be replaced (deleted, primary script function) or leave untouched.
New objects can copy scale or rotation from their previous versions.

Exaples:
Have some copies of some object (not instances) and want them change all same way.
- Convert them to instances, change them at once by editing just one.

Want to make instances of main object at every object's position from selection

Select as many objects as you like and let InstancesToVRayProxy find any instanced objects and convert those instances to VRayProxies. InstancesToVRayProxy automatically outputs VRayProxy meshs (*.vrmesh files) to a given folder, creates VRayProxy objects and replaces the selected instances with instances of those VRayProxies. This may sound difficult but InstancesToVRayProxy will optimize your scene to do faster renderings and all you have to do is pick an output path and hit a button! Instanced VRayProxies only need to be loaded once per proxy mesh. This will cut down the setup time of your renderings.
