That doesn't actually work at all for me. The second time through the loop
it creates a second instance with the same name as the first, then fails
with
# ValueError: More than one object matches name: [u'polySphere1_inst'] #
It works for me if I don't try to set the name in the instance command, and
let Maya name the object itself, then I rename the object on the last line
of the loop, like:
rename(instObject[0], '%s_inst' % (result[0]))
because the object has already been grouped with the others, Maya gives it
a unique name.
