Usage
member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).cloneDeep(cloneName)

member(whichCastmember).camera(whichCamera).cloneDeep(cloneName)
Description
3D command; creates a copy of the model, group, light, or camera plus all of the following:
• The model resources, shaders, and textures used by the original model or group
• The children of the model, group, light, or camera

This method uses more memory and takes more time than the
clone command.

shaders, and textures used by Teapot and its children. The variable
teapotCopy is a reference to
the cloned model.

Usage
member(whichCastmember).cloneModelFromCastmember\
(newModelName, sourceModelName, sourceCastmember)
Description
3D command; copies a model from a cast member, renames it, and inserts it into a cast member
as a child of its 3D world.

shaders, and textures used by the model and its children.
The source cast member must be finished loading for this command to work correctly.

sourceCastMember Required. Specifies the cast member that contains the model to clone.
