Hello. I tried following the steps in lesson 17 of Render Passes in Maya 2009 for using pre composite files with Composite. I'm using 2011. For some reason the files import, but no network is actually created. Any help?

Apparently I missed a step about the .persp file that gets opened after the import, but now when I go to open it it still won't work. I click on the open button, nothing happens. Oddly enough I was exploring the import window, changed View to Thumbnail, and then they imported and were grouped, but still no network connections or nodes other than the images and an output node.

Ok, it gets weirder. After trying some different stuff, on the initial import, before the .persp import, a network does get created. The odd part is that it creates nodes for a bunch of stuff that isn't included like motion vectors and nodes looking for an AO pass. I'm guessing this has something to do with the template system. In fact, the template system in composite would be a pretty cool tutorial. I'm thinking this issue is a software bug with Composite.
