or you could have each character in a separate file and then reference them rather than importing them. If you reference them then any changes you make to the original file will be reflected throughout any scenes that contain that file. Very useful believe me espcially if you have more than one scene. Imagine you have 5 scenes and you remodel a little piece of your character(s) you would have to re-import them all if you use the import method. But with referencing you dont need to do that it will be done for you
