One thing that I find very useful when working on large scenes with Renderman, is the ability to add code that "includes" another rib file at the time of rendering.

In the case of Maxwell, it would be great if you could specify mxs files to load when render begins. Think of it like x-refs that get loaded only when you render. Say you have a forest made of instanced trees, no need to carry that around in your scene, simply include it when you render, and as long as your origin is coordinated with your scene, the forest would be rendered in the right place.

This would require the ability to create mxs files devoid of camera, path, and environment settings, but you can do that already now when you export from studio right?

Cheers,
