TL;DR: You WILL save GIGABYTES in storage. Less duplication!
OptiPloy introduces a balance between appending and linking, something that has not yet existed as a one-click solution. This is limited to objects and collections.
Key Features
- Hybrid Importing
Choose from 15 data types to localize or to leave linked to the source file. Object and Collection types are enabled by default. - Fine‑Grained Control
Save importing preferences globally, per-folder, or per-blend. - One‑Click Workflow
Spawn assets directly from the side‑panel without manual linking/appending. - No Duplicating Boneshapes
Boneshapes do not duplicate, not even if you choose to localize armatures. - Auto-Execute Scripts & Scriptable Hook
OptiPloy will automatically execute data blocks associated with your import. This ensures, for example, that Rigify UI scripts work right off the bat.
