Can I reuse a character to multiple characters in one scene with the link feature in Blender 2.8? What I want to do is look like the image above.

In fact, I posted the same question about Blender 2.79  

In the meantime, i have heard static override of the 2.8 version.
Therefore, I thought the above operation would be possible.  

But today I tried one collection multiple linking &amp; make proxy in Blender 2.8 and it failed.  

  

I tried to create a separate proxy for the linked objects, but all the objects are controlled by the last proxy I've created.  

What did I miss?



Dan's method: failure  


I tested Dan's method.
(Operation in the following order: link → make proxy → link → make proxy)
However, the result is that the last-generated proxy controls all linked objects.
This seems to be a limitation of Blender at the moment. You can't link in multiple copies of the same rig for independent animations.

The workaround is to create copies of the original blender file and link in the copies.
