Is there a way to edit the reference in your working scene? What I mean is that I want to set up two scenes that are linked to a reference master. One scene is for splitting my geometry up for baking normal maps, and the other scene is for splitting my geometry according to the needs of the game. I want to be able to make edits to the UV maps that get inherited downstream in an attempt to automate the bake setup process.

You can have multiple referenced scenes and you can update the references and the changes will propagate through the other scenes Make sure everything has unique names

hello, how about instancing references? I am having issues with shaders once I re-open the file where I created an instance of the reference - appears green in the viewport and wrong in the render view. Something is there but seems like opacity was applied here and there. Any experience with that?

That likely means that you don't have a shader assigned to the instance, it may be a copy, but it probably doesn't have any shader, select the object and object mode and then go to the hypershade, select the shader that is supposed to be assigned and then click assign to selected

I have a question about the display layers: If you were to create a reference file using selected objects from a scene that already has display layers, how are you able to include those display layers into said reference file? Would I have to instead make the entire scene a reference file, and if so, is there a way to make select objects from the file be imported rather than the entire referenced scene?

You can set the display layers, from Autodesk, "Display Layers When on, display layers associated with the referenced child scene are integrated into the parent scene." Everything has a namespace, more information here, knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/Maya-ManagingScenes/files/GUID-655708E4-9CAE-475A-8810-AB65E8193FA0-htm.html If you only want to reference part of the fly away. Thank you. Need to save it as a separate file

@@WhatMakeArt Oh I think I see. So if I make display layers in the reference file with the same names as those in the parent scene, the reference scene will recognize which objects are suppose to be assigned to each display layer by sharing those layer nodes that have the same namespace between scenes, right?

I believe that's the way it functions

Do reference files render the same as imported files?

Yes, they do as long as you set your project and have all the reference files in the proper path in your folder and all your file paths are relative with the../
