I doubt this will have an impact, but I'll mention it anyway.
if you use the mental ray tag file output to generate masks per object, you
will run into problems with this. All instances will have the same tag color
in the pass.

Hi,
I have a general question about reference models. Does anyone know if there
are any issues I'm likely to encounter using instances with reference
models? I know there can be problems with nested models in general, as
mentioned in a recent post. The project involves a house with pieces of
furniture. We're planning to use reference models for the individual
furniture models. What we'd like to have is:
Chair Model (reference)
---> Leg Model
---> Leg Model (instance)
---> Leg Model (instance)
---> Leg Model (instance)
Chair Model (instance)
Chair Model (instance)
Chair Model (instance)
Does anyone know if this is likely to cause problems? I don't think we'd
need to have any links into the scene from beneath the Leg Model null.
Hopefully this doesn't cause problems, as it seems like it's really the only
sensible way to organize the geometry...
Thanks,
Andy
