I miss layers in 2.8. How do you separate the highpoly from the lowpoly and quickly flick back and forth between them or view them overlapped? Also when I tried using collections and I unhide objects in my 'low' collection it also unhides my 'high' collection and their objects, which is obviously not what I want! :#
Here's the error I'm getting now, mate. It only happens with collections. I can't send you the .Blend, sorry. It's work-related. I'm testing now on simple collections of primitives, so if I repro I'll send the .blend. Also, it deletes all of the objects in the 'high_poly' collection from the scene and seems to randomly…
i am not familiar with instancing in modo, but in blender you can link files (file -> link) from other blend files and they will update when you edit the source file also, if you duplicate an object with alt+d (instead of shift+d) it will create an instance of that model, you can scale, rotate.. etc this however you want…
