Skybrush Studio for Blender Tutorial 4 - Import and animate external meshes (STL, OBJ etc.)

This is a tutorial video of Skybrush Studio for Blender, a professional drone show designer framework integrated into Blender.
In this video we show you how to import external mesh objects (STL, OBJ, or any other convenient format) into Blender to use them as a static or dynamic (animated) formation as part of the drone show storyboard.
Skybrush Studio for Blender is available at skybrush.io

What if the vertices of an imported object doesn't match with the number of drones?

How do people make like a dragon flying , I saw a TH-cam short where they animated a 3d dragon flying animation or a bird flapping the wings

Ive been using this plugin for our drone buisiness, is there any community where one can ask questions? Im trying to figure out how to use 2 seperate mesh objects, and manipulate them outside of edit mode. Say you wanted 2 seperate smaller resolution doves at the same time. It appears you can only assign a single vertex group, or a single formation at a time in the storyboard. Any resources on this?

Hey Tobin, I am not sure if you found your answer yet, but if you did could you show me what you came up with, I'm having the same difficulties

@@jjcrossover5547 My work around was creating multiple vertex groups, outside of edit mode, but naming them the same. Not pretty but it works. Alternatively You can use Hooks to select specific vertices and manipulate them independently.
