Subject : Losing Render Passes

I am losing render passes - after saving and closing my scene – when I re-open passes are gone.

 

Repro Steps:

 

I have several scenes with referenced models.

I add a few passes to the scene, Image Based, Selective Shadow etc.

Save the scene.

Open another that also had several passes saved earlier.

The passes are gone and only one remains.

Open the last saved scene, these passes are also gone.

 

This is happening on another workstation here too using the same referenced model.

 

It does not happen when I start a new scene and import the model as local or I make the model local. Then my passes stay saved.

 

Anybody else have weirdness like this, or have I missed a previous post about this bug.

I can repro flawlessly each time with one particular model, however another simpler referenced model works fine.

I am thinking there is some particular bug in this model.

I tried and also don't see much effect from a raylength input. I'd be curious what your goal was. I do get a bump from a gradient input though.
cheers,

length, to drive the bump intensity. I was quite surprised when it didn't work
so I tried a grad. That didn't work either. It just doesn't shade.
