duplicate node changes material

colcurve

I wonder, anyone else observed, when a figure is duplicated, the original and the duplicate seem differently shaded in render?

When making more duplicates, the last fabricated instance seems differently shaded than the others

I haven't noticed his before because, if you're talking about instancing, I only instance small props for a scene. A better way would be to save a character as a scene-subset and re-load it back into the scene. It should be an excact copy of the original character. That way you can change clothes, hair and poses from the original which you can't do with instanced copies.
