I had never thought of doing this before, but what if we made it so all graph ops could be used a pseudo loaders? Could we make it so that scene file handler could recognize an extension for each graph op and then let the graph op take the next few arguments it needs from the filename to use as parameters for the graph ops? So for example you could have file names like: tie.wrl.4.0-5.0-6.0.rotate tie.wrl.createSingleIndex.3.addTangentSpace As you can see from the first one, coming up with an argument separator could be interesting, but once it is standardized I think this could work fairly well.
