is there a .prt loader plugin anywhere? would be great if it also supports the

there is an exporter written by caron. no reader.

hiding the default partitions for geo and lights is common practice – almost an

I agree with the last reply.
I never force show, I like to hide objects themselves (or groups)and for
that to propagate though the passes (temporarily).
That's how I've taught the new soft users at work! And after a day they can
see the massive benefits of that workflow and the pass system.
Funny, I'm almost opposite...
I get very uncomfortable (physically uneasy) dealing with no effect
partitions floating around containing a mix of hidden and unhidden objects,
especially in large scenes, I need everything locked down and explicit.
I'll normally have a working/Default pass where
I'll second that. Especially the cutlery stacking bit.

Oh well – any system has its weaknesses. Indeed in the one I use, if you go and

The naming stuff properly chat is actually ahead of the visibility one

So how do you handle visibility animation? That gets screwed on “show

Animating visibility is something on my 'don't do this' list anyway, so no

The hair was nothing revolutionary. It was using the Melena set up to

Chimp lips are surprisingly flexible so having the deformers being driven

The 2nd argument can be anything you want it to be. Just has to be the name of

XSIFactory.CreateParamDef() is for creating parameters the user interacts with
in the operator's PPG.
Defining the data type your operator reads/writes is done via port connections.
CustomOperator.AddInputPort() and CustomOperator.AddOutputPort(), for example.
