Subject : Re[2]: Losing Render Passes
i've got something similiar going on here.
i got a character loaded in as reference model.
i load another ref model that contains the clothes. i pose constrain
the clothes to the hip control and save it.

when i load the pose constrain is gone.. ugh... that affects the
rendering computers as well of course. and that leasd to funny looking
cloth staying at 0,0,0 :/

the ref model is also used in other scenes and there are no probs so
far.

need to investigate more...


ciao
