GroupPro was made because default blender group instances are powerful, but they are not user friendly to work with. With GroupPro I managed to get rid of all annoying features of group instances:
- you can edit any instances on scene, not just the ‘source’ one
- you can work in recursive way – group instances, can be made of other subgroups, which can be made of subgroups etc. At any stage subgroup can be edited and saved, with all instances updated in real-time
- easy mirroring of selected groups (fixes group instance mirror bug in blender)
- adjusting origin of group, without destroying positions of other instances placed in scene, or in another groups
- ability to edit linked libraries groups directly in current blend file
- ability to crate group proxy
This makes working with huge scenes with lots of objects easy and gives all the pros of group instances:
- less memory memory usage
- easy selection of multiple objects with one click
