I am all for Ivans methodology. viewer process for show level and IP for artist. On most shows artist can't add to the viewer processes so some one can easily change them. Not a scripter but a nice menu that could hold these ip gizmos and you would just select them. Menu part I know is easy enough but can an "VIEWER_INPUT" groups internals be swapped like howard was just mentioning? Can that menu be easly populated with artist created Gizmo's
