Copy a Mesh

[lcrivell]

Hi,
I have a mesh in maya with texture. Using the vray sdk for maya, how can I render another instance of this mesh, having the same texture ?
I would like to avoid duplicating the mesh in Maya and just render a "virtual" copy of this mesh using the vray plugin.
Thanks.

One way is to use the Phyton post-translate callback to instance a mesh before rendering; see the example here:
