Subject: Re: Safe to delete the default pass?

 

If you are in the habit of using overrides in other passes to keep things
the way you want them and safe from the slippery hands of fellow artists,
then you should keep your default pass as a safe zone for playing in and
trying things out.

Re: Safe to delete the default pass?

[Jason S]

Ya, and there is no important reason you'd want to do that,

I only found that out when trying to put something more relevant to what 
the scene was as scene root name,
only to find things not getting evaluated left an right lol

RE: Safe to delete the default pass?

It's especially bad if you rename the scene root to be the same name as the 
scene's file name.

While it's technically allowed to rename scene root, delete default pass, 
etc.  It's really not advised.

Indeed, I too have had issues renaming or deleting the default pass.

That, or also renaming the "Scene_Root".

Re: Safe to delete the default pass?

[Orlando Esponda]

You can delete it,  but I always keep it as safe place. That one was always
intact and any override done in a different pass,  was gone when switching
to this default pass. It's a good way to keep one clean version of your
scene.

Re: Safe to delete the default pass?

Still use them religiously, if only to by default hide any new geometry or
lights in the scene. Last time I worked with a scene without the passes
would randomly not show any contents, and for lack of anything else to
blame...
