# Managing Passes in the LookFileManager

Each look file has one or more passes. The LookFileManager can resolve as many of these passes as needed, creating an output for each (the default pass is always resolved). One technique is to have the look file that is assigned to /root contain all the necessary passes for that shot. This method means only one look file needs to be brought into the LookFileManager node to define all the passes that need resolving.

The Passes list to the right of the Look Files list inside the LookFileManager shows a list of passes that are both being resolved and are available within a look file to be resolved. Each pass name has one of three states:

• - this pass is not only being resolved, the LookFileManager is the view node and the Scene Graph tab shows the results of resolving for this pass.

• - this pass is being resolved, it has an output from the LookFileManager.

• no icon - this pass is within the currently selected look file but is not being resolved.

### Having the LookFileManager Resolve Additional Passes

| 1. | Within the Look Files list for the LookFileManager node, click on the look file with additional passes. The Passes list to the right of the Look Files list shows additional unresolved passes that are contained within the look file. These additional passes are displayed with no accompanying icon.

| 2. | In the Passes list, right-click on the pass to resolve and select Add Selected Pass Name Output.

The pass is now resolved and an output is added to the LookFileManager node.

### Changing Which Pass to Use When the LookFileManager is the Current View Node

• right-click on the pass in the Passes list and select View Scene graph For Pass, or

• select the pass in the Passes list and select > View Scene graph For Pass, or

• click next to the pass name.
