This gizmo is for use with multi-layer (also known as multi-pass) rendered CGI. It allows artist to merge up to 7 layers with the RGB layer. All layers are in the same stream.
Layers include three standard masks: occlusion, shadow and dirt. These masks are used with a multiply node to adjust subject color (the main RGB layer). Other four layers are designated as extra texture, specular, reflection, and extra. Some of the non-mask layers are before the masks and some after.
User settings include specifying the layer names and other useful controls. The layer designations "specular", "reflection", "shadow" work within a fixed node structure but may be substituted with other layers. All layers are optional.

Ever do a job on one machine or in one folder structure, only to end up with it anme in a new location, with all your assets broken? This widget supplies a simple mechanism to define a base path. Artist then references this variable in any Read, Write or other I/O node. Multiple base paths can be defined if necessary. Inspired by a Nuke tutorial and two weeks in Mumbai relinking assets hundreds of times.

--------------------------------------
Use this node to define a base path to assets on your network. After defining a base path, usen I/O nodes like READ and WRITE.
To use, enter this text in filename fields:
[value NODE_NAME.path]/......Note the word "value" is essential.
If you change the node name or use more than one assets node,use the correct node name when referencing.
