Nodes To Keep Info

Maya
1

Hi

I have some nodes in ma scene that keep info (shot info, asset info ...). Until now i always used empty transform nodes, but "Optimize Scene Size" throws them away. I also would like the nodes to be invisible in outliner in 'DAG only" mode, so they don't get deleted by accident. What kind of nodes do you recomend ? Maybe i could connect those nodes to some default maya node (ie. renderSettingsNode) so that maya keeps it when cleaning scene...
thx, michal

Hi

Yes you can use scriptNode;

CODE
        scriptNode -st 2 -bs "shot info" -n "shot_info";
        addAttr -ln comments -dt "string" shot_info;
        addAttr -ln stat -dt "string"  shot_info;

scriptNode will be safe
