I have a bookshelf modeled and a group of 10 books (so as to not make the bookshelf look repeated), is it possible to create a driver to just drag up/down the amount of books on the shelf???

You could use particle system to emit the books from vertices:

The emitter is a subdivided plane, the origin of the book group (only 3 books on layer 2) is set to the bottom of the book.

Particle settings:

Uncheck Random under 'Emit from:'

  • I see some books stacking on top of each other. How can I solve this? – WorldSEnder May 25 '14 at 11:37
  • @WorldSEnder I guess you emitted more particles than there're vertices to emit from. Either subdivide the emitter a bit more or reduce the number of particles. – stacker May 25 '14 at 17:17

    @WorldSEnder Sorry I didn't notice that I posted it with checked Random. Uncheck Random under 'Emit from:' – stacker May 25 '14 at 18:34
