Shot pipeline

Assets are created in the lib folder. These maybe materials, models, python scripts, etc. These should be organized into layers, and named (every datablock needs a name). Models may need multiple versions which can live in the same file, or in multiple files.
Layout files link in assets, preferably using reference desk, and conform to the layer organisation guidelines.
Anim can start after layout begins, so long as the animated assets, and non-animated parts of the scene that they interact with are finished. Note that animation uses the layout file.
Lighting can start after animation begins. Lighting files are seperate and link in the data from the anim files as objects.
Optionally, we can render out multilayer EXRs and comp in a separate file. This can be done for complex comps where we do not want to pollute our 'artistic' comp with lighting hacks such as light and material overrrides.
