| Jun 18, 2018 at 7:33 | comment | added | Robin Betts♦ | Sorry for late reply.. I've been looking at it again.. there is no empty, so that's not exactly it. Maybe it's just the terminology that's confusing me.. I guess I'm trying to understand this from a programmer's point of view. | |

| Jun 15, 2018 at 8:49 | comment | added | Robin Betts♦ | I think you've described to me the difference between copies and instances ... that instances share mesh data, and copies don't. But Duplis seem to be different again. They behave like instances..( if you modify one's mesh, the others are modified too) And the 'Make Duplicates Real' command results in actual instances. So there's something they were before executing that command, and I'm interested in what that something is. | |
