Linked Collections instead of groups

posted to: Linked Groups

Hi, I am going through the course with Blender version 3.3.1.  Refer to "Linked Groups" video, I wondered if the lamps can be individually posed after linked into the master file similar to group?

    Yes, you can now just link in a collection instead of the old group method. So when you go to "Link" if you navigate the blender file where you have the lamp, just go into the "Collections" folder and select your lamp collection from there. Be aware that anything you have on that collection will be brought over and be linked, so be sure it's just the lamp in there. After that, you can duplicate your linked lamp collection and use them individually.

    See Wayne here linking his assets preparing for his animation. It's the same process.

    Beautiful.  Thank you for your help.  I watched the clip and now learnt a bit of using override.
