Blender: Loaded rigs/models create a duplicate/Instance Collection that selects the same objects with focus

General

Hi everyone,

I’m new to AYON with Blender and running into a confusing issue when loading rigs or models.

What I do:

  • Publish a rig/ model as usual.
  • In a new scene, go to AYON → Load…
  • Right-click the published workfileModeling→ Link Blend

What happens:

  • The collection appears correctly inside AYON_CONTAINERS.
  • An extra collection with the exact same name is created as a Collection Instance.
  • Selecting an object in one place selects it in both (they are the same data).
  • If I delete the Collection Instance, the objects get dumped into the master Scene Collection.
  • If I delete the whole hierarchy, the original objects disappear too.

Sorry this post got obviously lost… I think the issue is that you are trying to load the source workfile and not the actual rig asset. At least from the steps you have provided…

You shouldnt do that and only use products themselves as you practically loading scene which already contains some AYON CONTAINER collections…

I hope I got it correctly and this does make sense also to you.

Cheers!

@sidmehraajm Small update: We have also fixed recently the ayon-blender addon regarding some linking issues so please use the very latest addon version and try it again.

Cheers!
