This is by me probably the worst thing in maya, its just plain awful. On more than one occasion i remember the render layer system managing to break in more ways than one could imagine, nothing could be completed on time or with ease. If anything its probably the sole reason on why i dont plan on working in a studio that have their lighting done in maya, i know its a bold statement, but i really just want to avoid it. After that whole experience when i was introduced to xsi's pass system i think i went home and cried for a couple of days for all the overtime i endured just to get things out on time....
