Hello everyone! In this Blender tutorial we will be learning about instancing collections in Blender 2.9! Using an instance is very powerful and it can allow you to create some really unique designs pretty easily! Also it allows you to animate the visibility of collections!

I knew about the term object instancing but never figured out what it was. Thanks! Finally I know how people can have these huge scenes without having a to much memory

Great. One trick I do is put the main collection in a new scene. So you don't see the main collection and that allows us to move the instances and the origin in the place I want instead the world center

@myztazynizta 3 жыл бұрын

So much more could be added to this. A single object can be in more than one collection. You do not have to put the original objects at the world center. You CAN position the origin point of the collection wherever you want. The operator to do this is just in a very hard to discover location. Hiding the original collection from view and from render without unintentionally hiding the instances is a confusing pain with several work arounds.

You can also instance individual objects (not collections) by just using Alt-D instead of Shift-D. Less flexible, but handy if you don't want to make an entire collection for one object.

@transmitthis 3 жыл бұрын

That's a "linked Copy" The subtle difference being it's still creating a mesh (even if it's only linking the underlying object) Where as an Instance is not creating any mesh or data so is less resource heavy, for larger Collections or larger objects. But yes, you can do whatever you like, but choose wisely ;)

@kiaparowits 3 жыл бұрын

@@transmitthis Just to clarify, when you use an object in a particle system it doesn't create a mesh and saves on memory, right? So particle systems and instanced objects are easier on memory than arrays and linked copies?

@PedroFilms 2 жыл бұрын

@@transmitthis I've experimented with instance copies vs alt+d copies, and even if I duplicate 1000x high poly trees, vram or memory or face count doesn't change with alt+d... so im not so sure there's a resource argument for instance copies vs alt+d copies.

Hi there! I make flag waving and make around 100 of them. But my fps slows down, when I make instances, I can not change the material for each country. When I change, all flags turn into the flag of 1 country. How to solve? Thanks!

My only main concern is that it creates dupe materials (001. .002 .003 at the end) which creates lots of memeory. I discovered that way too late and it jumped from 200mb to almost 1gb memory. Deleting the dupe materials only cause one instance to go white. Its pretty infuriating lol. Not even the Material Utilities addon seems to fix it :/

I've been trying to figure oit how they do instances on the backend considering Blender is mostly built on Python. My C++ brain says use pointers, but I'm not aware of Python having the ability to do this. I wonder if it's done during a compute pass rather and all the file is doing is saying repeat this object instance at x, y, z, t in coordinate space

@darrennew8211 3 жыл бұрын

So objects in Blender have a transform (what you see under "Item" and you reset with "Apply scale..."). That points to other stuff like meshes, modifiers, etc. When you instance something, you're making a new object (so a new transform) that points to the same other objects. Python can do this just by putting the same object into multiple dictionaries, for example. However, Blender is in C and C++, with Python being a relatively thin skin on top of it for building the UI.

@@darrennew8211 okay awesome thank, you. That definitely helps me understand how they manage this then. For some reason I was under the impression the python code was deeper than just the UI. Thank you very much for such a well dictated technical summary.

Excellent tutorial as usual, Can we give the instances different material than the original? for example creating chess sets where one is black and the other is white. Instances are very useful to create patterns, is it possible to use them to create a Barbwire fence? Please advise. Thank you.

@myztazynizta 3 жыл бұрын

You can use 2 objects that share the same one piece of Mesh Data and change the material to be stored on the objects instead of the mesh data. This way each object can have unique material but same mesh data.

Each instance is still an instance, not an "instant".

@othoapproto9603 2 жыл бұрын

Instance Collections are VERY frustrating. Things I HATE about IC: 1# You can't exclude Transition from IC, This means you really have to place the original's position exactly where it should be and predicting ware the other instance are in relation to the original IC. 2# The SIZE of the Empty is WAY too large, After making the first instance go in and scale down the Empty before making additional instance. 3# The IC folder becomes the default Linking destination of any linked import. So each linked item becomes as many instants you made of this collection. You have to drag the item out of the IC folder to undo this. IC is one of the functions in Blender that is valuable IF you know it's behaviors. IF you don't, you will have a bad day.
