File Referencing System
You can manage the assets within production pipelines in a better way using the file referencing system. This is particularly helpful when you have a project with a large number of assets, which are revised occasionally, but are used in a number of scenes or shots. In this case, you can use the referencing system to easily update multiple assets.
The following terms are used in the documentation to explain the referencing system.
- Referenced Object – A referenced object is a top level object that contains zero or more referenced items.
- Referenced Item – A referenced item is any node (in a hierarchy or alone) within a referenced object.
