Zookeeper Referencing

Does Zookeeper have an object referencing system that actually works?  The default 3D max Object, Scene, and Container Systems all seem to be useless in real world production and nobody seems to have has developed a good solution yet.  Zookeeper seems like the perfect place to implement such a thing.

 

Thoughts?

Zookeeper works mostly on top of what Max already provides. Referencing in 3dsmax is something we have to wrap and respect at the moment. Xrefs still seem to be the best way of referencing external scene data. I agree, however, that a ZK interface would work well with cross file referencing.

Okay, well please understand that there is a huge oppurtunity there.  Thousands of users from all forums have referencing system issues and if someone tackled that it would probably be pretty successful since there is not one off the shelf plugin solution for referencing.  Seems like most large companies that use max, like Blur, have written their own referencing systems as part of their internal toolset and they apparently work great.  So it is possible, just not available.

Thanks for responding.  Cheers.
