Scene Assembly workflow limitations

Scene does not fully support workflows that include:

• Deformers:
  • Geometry with deformers can be added to an assembly definition as a Scene representation.
  • Deformers cannot be created on geometry after the object is part of a Scene representation.
• HumanIK rigs
  • HumanIK rigs can be added to an assembly definition as a Scene representation. Animation can be added and edited by setting keyframes (on the base animation layer only) as assembly edits on an assembly reference node.
  • You cannot create a HumanIK rig from a skeleton that is contained by an assembly reference node or member.
  • You cannot add auxiliary effectors and pivots to HumanIK rigs that are contained by an assembly reference node or member.

Scene Assembly does not support workflows that include:

• File referencing
• Maya Dynamics, nDynamics, or Fluid Effects
• Animation layers
• Character sets
• Set driven keys
• Motion path animation, including flow path objects
• Animation Snapshot
• Render layers

Important: Do not use namespaces in representation files.
