V2.8
2019-09-05
Windows Operating System

Bug:
When working with multiple scenes in the same blender session, If you link the same asset into multiple (New or Full copy)scenes , the geometry does not follow the armature. It matches the position of the original scene it was linked into. Ideally we would like to have multiple scenes with in the same session, in some cases containing the same assets but treating the scenes completely independently of each other.

Link a character asset into a scene. Build a proxy
Create a new scene and link the same character into the scene. Build the proxy.
Move the armature and you will see that the geometry does not follow the proxy in the new scene.

What Blender version are you using? In 2.81, proxies are being improved and phased out by the new override system. Try the same thing using overrides, see if that fixes the problem.

I'm almost certain that what you're describing is a known limitation of proxies- you need to use different actions for the same proxy object/armature if you want to do what you're doing with proxies. I can't find a list of limitations but it's been known for a long time that proxies don't support multiple instances in a .blend file. Overrides solve that and more.

Since the feature's not fully documented yet, maybe open a devtalk thread and ping someone that's worked on the feature. Then come back here and let us know if it's still causing a problem. I can't test it now, but if you mention me over there (@josephbburg is my handle on devtalk) I'll get back to you, since this feature is interesting to me.
