yeah, that's pretty much what I thought, just checking before I ditch the idea, if I'm going to be checking the hashID against the node Type in-order to extract a matching key from the dict then I may as well just revert to the system I had. Not that big a hit to re-instantiate the node if somebodies renamed it, the cache just updates itself.
As for things, yeah, bloody busy at the moment, Red9 is getting a lot of interest and we're already booked solid till well into December doing facial systems for a TV commercial, that and talking to a lot of games and pre-viz companies about pipelines. How about yourself Dave, been a long time!
