How do you open to blend files simoultaneously? Im running blender from steam, and I think that is impossible.
Thank you for this
you sir. are a life savior.
Perhaps show how to extend that asset file as well, say you want to keep adding files to that. You can also simply use single files as well, i think thats easier because no hustle for thumbnails. Much cleaner and easier file creation
Great information. Thx for sharing. I do have a question. I use Manuel Bastioni labs to create most of my human characters and I want to create a library but you can only create one character per scene. How would this work with different assets from different scenes? My computer is down right now so I can't experiment. But will be running tomorrow. Would be nice to try it then. Thx.
Awesome!
Awesome 🙂
Thank you so much with helping me use preview mode instead, using scale with Imperial, and keeping the model complete without loss of Material…as long as you keep it in the mode you used it in. My object only was complete when I switched to Cycles Render which is what I used to render the object the first time.
such a slow tutorial
Thanks cool video
thanhk you
cool trick
Is it the same process for rigged characters too?
All those assets which you have showed in video, can i have them. those cupboards, lamps etc…. Thanks for the tip though.
Does it work for materials too? Great vid btw!
Yeah, tanks… but realy 4min of 7:32 to get to the point.
Then you go over the basic point like crazy.
It woold be beter if you stretch the point of the tutorial.
Take it easy… i had to rewinde to mutch.
This is actually awesome advice. Good Job!
Really useful!!
great, thank you so much :]
how to install in ubuntu or linux
thanks for the video .Finally i got it.
Damn! This is useful. Definitely gonna use this trick. Thx for tips 🙂 Weird, that I haven't seen this video before xD
What did he do at 0:58 which key did he press to do that?
Hey people you can also ctrl c ctrl v between blend files when both are open… just sayin, sometimes it's very usefull 🙂
"previews generation process failed for.." This was the outcome after i followed the explained procedure. Some files worked fine, but mainly it puts out this error. Do you may know whats the reason for this behaviour? I am otherwise very glad to have finally found this long awaited feature through your excelent video, – thank you!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Starts at 3:30. Good tutorial but get to the point.
Seems like if you save the file again (even with no changes) the previews will be destroyed. Any idea how to prevent that or get them generated automatically?
Pretty cool and useful! Is there a way to do this for .obj files that you are aware of? :O)
I don't have "Generate Batch Preview" when I hover over Data Preview,
just shows "Refresh DataBlock Preview", good video though.
