I'm looking for a product that does Instances, but not the one that prevents you from changing poses and materials on the instanced figures.  I'm looking for the one that I swore was here in the store that you could change poses and materials on the instanced figures.

Anyone remember?  Is it still here and I can't find it?

Thanks.

    I use instancing a bunch and I don't know of any product that lets you repose or retexture the instance.

    Instances, as such, cannot be used like this. The entire purpose of an instance is to save memory by telling the program, "another thing just like that one."

    You may be thinking of "Send In The Clones", some versions of which appear to allow a limited number of different poses.

    Or maybe you are thinking of Instances to Objects.This product lets you create instances with products like UltraScatter and then convert those instances to objects that can be individually manipulated (posed, morphed, textured, etc.)You need to be aware that the objects will each take up as much memory as the original, unlike instances.

    Instances to Objects sounds nice since I could use it for Vue as well.  Send in the Clones, yes, that was it!!.  I just couldn't remember the name so I couldn't do a search.  It seems pretty old.  Will it work with DS 4.10?  Anyone know?

    Thanks!!
