meshTask + clone + animationGroups

Questions
1

I’m trying to figure out how to clone a mesh and the animationGroup for use in duplicate meshes throughout the world while using addMeshTask from the assetManager.

Here’s a PG: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#ZQPDEF#12

I can’t figure out how to clone the animationGroup properly for use in the second (cloned) mesh.

Thanks!

I’m not sure how this can be done using AnimationGroup, which is why I switched to using Skeletons and AnimationRanges imported from .babylon files, as shown in the demo: Dancers Performance demo. You can view the source code inside the .html file in the tag.

This is so good, this should be in the documentation. Saved my day after I was trying to manually clone Transform Nodes for an animated modular mesh.
