Blender 2.8 Quick Tip : Collections & Layers

In this Blender video quick tip I explain how to use Collections in combination with View Layers which store the visibility states for collections.

See my social profiles here:

Just for sharing, if you use unity, you can bring the .blend file directly into unity and one way to hide objects in unity (so match whatever you hide in blender) is to put the object in a collection then turn that collection OFF. This way the objects will be hidden in unity as well. Using hide 'H' hotkey, won't affect the appearance in unity.

It's a great tip. I saw view layers but I did not know how they functioned. Thank you.

I do not know this. Saved my day. I too love to organize stuff and I make collections based on type of object and I do hide and unhide in collection which is painful. Saved my day. Thank a lot. 😍✌️🔥

Cool. I always wondered what view layers were for. There are also scene layers, which I have heard you can link to a main layer, but I haven't figured out the difference.

Wow, such minor things boost workflow so good. Glad that u sharing with us. Will you make a video about your working pipeline any soon?

Thank you very much for this tip. I find your videos always very instructive. A question : is this switching between view layers also applicable in animations ?

So basically this is nothing more than how to work with and view files and folders using Blender...
