Hello! I'm new to MEL and I'd like to get you coders help with something.

I need a script that replaces proxy objects (lowpoly models) in a scene. I want to replace them with highpoly models using a script. So the script would duplicate the highpoly models and replace the lowpoly ones!

Any of you coders who could help me out with this?

/Cheers
