I've created some scripts for tS75 for the creation of Null objects and parent/child relationships between objects. The Null object tricks tS into thinking an object is a camera and so it won't render. There is also a script to make lights and nulls invisible so the realtime won't render them. Parenting connects objects in such a way that the child objects seem like they are connected to the parent, but can have motion of their own. You can get the scripts from my website:

Awesome,:), thanks. Still on 6.6 here, but some of the NURBS plugs will be useful.

One thing to watch out for with the NURBS tools. I was little over cautious when I wrote them and a lot of the tools make copies of the originals. The copies get changed and the original is left in place. Be careful that you're working on the right one and delete or hide the originals as you go.
