Reply To: 2.8 Hurdles and Roadblocks
I was watching the Hide vs Disable from Viewport video, it talks about how when linking a rig it kinda duplicates it when you make a proxy and the wires both fight for space at the same time. In 2.79 it wasn’t a problem because of the Dupli Visibility, but now we don’t have that in 2.80
So what you have to do is in the original file, turn the whole thing off in the viewport with the TV Icon but then it can be confusing since why wouldn’t you want to see all your stuff in the original file. Ideally we’d want to see our rig and all and when we link it and make a proxy not have it duplicated.
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong and I just got lucky, but it worked for me to use the Holdout Mask in the filters… I turned it ON for the Rig Collection and I could still see my rig in my original file, no need to turn it off entirely with the TV icon, and then when I linked everything in another file and made the proxy, the Rig wasn’t showing until I made the proxy, only then the rig showed and it wasn’t duplicated. I don’t know if I explained that right.
