Re: ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: ...
Thanks guys! Except for the warning message, there hadn′t been any problems sofar. I had deleted the Fury render options at an earlier scene increment already but the warning still pops up on scene loads. I′ll live with it for now and the time of geometry collection, then export the set and whatsoever anyway - just found I′m also using some obsolete shaders... haha. Rebuilding it is, then... I shouldn′t have switched the scene to 2012...

Re: ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: ...
Hi Alan, I´ll give that a try. I´d like to keep the other rendersettings. Admittedly, I tend to get confused between apps, e.g. Maya and XSI, etc. when it comes to merging scenes and keeping passes/rendersettings. Good chance to try it out again...

One way to cheaply save and restore settings manually in a big PPG is by saving a preset... click the little folder icon at the top right of the PPG, save a *.Preset and load it when you want the parameter values back. (In the case of merging you're typically only messing the render global settings. Those local to partitions should survive fine.)
