Links & Library Overrides are still glitchy after 4 years of development

Can you elaborate what’s your issue and why you don’t like this plan to improve overrides with dynamic parameters? I am curious to hear about your workfow.

I am for one couldn’t use linking for complex setup and had to invent different weird ways to create scenes and variations of scenes with the sama assets. It was a HUGE pain to do this.

One of the reasons I now do all the scenes assembly and layout in Houdini USD. It’s just perfect.

All the major points about Blender’s terrible linking system are addressed in this video.

I am glad they’re acknowledging these shortcomings and planning to improve it. I’d rather they embrace the USD but the improvements that are planned seems good to fix crippled linking system.
