Which Method to Choose?
I prefer to use the groups/dupligroups method if I can get away with it. All of the props in The Beast use this method. It’s safer and uses fewer resources. However, if you think you will need to see an object’s settings or add shot-specific modifiers while working, you should use a standard direct link and make it into an animation proxy.
