Parenting doesn't have to be tough! Duplicating groups of objects in Blender.

This is a tutorial for those new to Blender who want to understand parenting and collections. In part 3 of the duplicating objects series, we look at the use of parenting and collection instances to facilitate the duplication and control of groups of items. I mention the use of an add on called "Edit Instanced Collections". That can be found here:

Shift A over outliner to open and close collection and hierarchy also period key to can be used to isolated object in outliner.

This is excellent! While I was familiar with most of the concepts you explained, your application to a real example really helps in understanding the pros and cons of parenting and collection and how to effectively combine both in a clean workflow. Thank you!

Brilliant again, scene management is so important for bigger scenes. You nail explaining it and breaking it down, thanks!

You completely lost me around the halfway mark in the collections thing... 😒 I don't know which is more confusing, this, or UV unwrapping, so I'm going to call it a tie.
