Hi folks,

I've included the lesson file from the Packing Collection Objects tutorial. 

https://youtu.be/XFbD3rqE1eM

In this one we learn how to get bounding box information per instance from a collection and use that with the accumulate field node so we can do linear packing of any abitrary objects from a given collection.

In the tutorial we use models from the discord game jams and the final file is slightly larger (26MB) due to the packed textures from these assets.

Let me know if you want a further tutorial on getting packing for rotated instances as that's a slightly more involved process.

Happy Nodevember!
