Select textures from multiple parts of a model grp and apply them to a duplicate of the same model

Hello. I have two complex models and they are identical. One has textures applied to it, the other is referenced and needs the same textures assigned to the same parts. Is there a way to do this?

YES! And I do feel bad about what I'm about to say, but scripting would solve this very very easily.

There is no simple built-in way to do it in Maya (at least not one that I know of). If you don't know any python or Mel, google a script that can do it. You will for sure find other people with this exact use case have written scripts!

I don't know what your specialty is, but I would recommend any and everyone look into learning a bit of python. It doesn't take much, and you will find it solves almost any repetitive task such as this.

Sorry for not having a better answer. If you are still struggling with this and can't find a script, reach out to me.

Good luck
