Thinnizator - automatic thin instances

Hi guys! EDIT: PG link updated: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QZA92W#151 Entreé This small script automatically creates thin instances of meshes located under a given node. It doesn’t care about the naming and tries to automatically find all “equal” meshes on the scene, creates a prefab mesh for the equal meshes, disposes the original meshes and creates the required amount of thin instances from the prefab mesh. The thin instances are positioned/rotated/scaled as the original meshes. The…
