As always, I use VSS quite a bit differently than the designer had intended, but only because I use a number of colourMaps, references for which lie in a data-reference py file, which my matmatic scripts get their data from.
So, I have these mt6 files that blank out the material zones that I want to re-populate with new colourMaps. I know: not what BB had intended, but hey, it works. This also helps me update a figure's shader if I happen to rename a colourMap node: the old-named one tends to remain (unconnected to anything) if I don't blank out those zones. < / wierdness >
