Maya - Stop reloading render layers on scene open

Lighting

Hey there

I have a problem with render scenes on Maya 2022.3

When opening a scene, maya will load each render layer… Which can take a lot of time depending on the number of objects in the scene and the amount of overrides on each layer.

Is there a way to tell maya to only load the active (visible) render layer and only load other layers when switching to them ?

Thanks

Hey! You can try exporting them each to a json file and manage them by providing a quick tool to load them into the scene. Go even further by integrating a layer widget to your file open dialog to auto-load beauty by default.
