user frame buffers

[matt3d]

I seem to recall a discussion or an article regarding how to use these in maya, but my search is not finding anything. Has anyone used these with sucess for multipass rendering? I normally use a seperate render layer, but in a large scene, there is overhead for having to reload the geometry for every pass, so I want to try user buffers
