Grouping multiple objects might seem like a simple operation but with multiple different ways of grouping, Blender doesn't seem straightforward. Using the Parent to Empty method, either by hand or through the Extra Mesh Addon, allows for similar group behavior as one might expect it from other software such as Maya.
Hope you enjoyed and found this helpful.

For many years now I have been using Blender and its features to speed up my workflow to create environments. Linking Mesh Data between objects and using Modifiers to quickly create non-destructive and semi-procedural models. I found multiple techniques helped me to iterate during production and quickly adapt my work to feedback and changes.
I hope this is of interest to you and maybe you have additional tips and tricks. If so please don't hesitate to share them in the comments.

Using Soft Body Physics to crush some beer cans! In today's Blender Tutorial I am walking through my setup and show some weight painting tricks. This one is pretty simple but produces great results. Check out my source files here: https://artstn.co/m/2pkw

I took the last tutorial and cloth simulations a step further. Today I am going over how I made trash bags mostly procedural and with quite a simple setup. Make sure to check out the source files, available for free right here on ArtStation: https://artstn.co/m/dnGb
Oh and by the way: you don't need Blender for this. Any software with similar features will do.
