[Blender]How do you guys organize big scenes in blender ? from a C4D user

Apoolloo

I'm new to blender  and it is  really a fantastic software.
But i don't really got the point of the outliner in it .
I'm used to assembling scenes in Cinema4d.The outliner system works really well for me .
So are there addons to make blender outliner working like c4d or what's your way to manage your scene in blender?

Blender has 20 "layers" ,  You can use "M" button to assign  objects to specific layer  and then  layer widget on the bottom of 3d view .    Plus it has "groups" , a kind of object tagging for quick selection   .     Nothing especially sophisticated in its outliner  unfortunately.

I think its good to note that Blender's current layer system is severely limited, and that the developers are well aware of this. One of the many improvements coming in the 2.8 update is a complete overhaul of the way scenes are organized:
