Hey all,

I have a renderLayer system for maya that i've written (got tired of
the bugs and the stone age ideas behind it), and am in need of a good
way of picking attributes to override.

My ideal solution would be to add an item to the attribute editor
context menu (similar to the built in renderlayers - "create
override"). This seems to be hardcoded (or at least compiled), so
doesn't look do-able.

I currently have a list of attributes that the user can pick, but
ultimately it's a bit of a workflow killer. It's really just a matter
of finding a good UI for this.

Does anyone have any alternative strategies for choosing attributes on nodes?

cheers,
chrisg

no point reinventing the wheel, can't you use the channelBox to select them? or would these be attributes that you couldn't make visible in the channelBox..?

Hey Nathan,

I'm looking at attributes that aren't normally exposed in the channelbox - otherwise, this would be a good way to go.
