…alone render Replace the #### pattern in ArnoldFile with separate SceneDirectory and FilePattern parameters. This allows job attachments to properly track the input directory containing per-frame .ass files, instead of requiring a manual asset_references.yaml.

…ss files Replace ArnoldFile/SceneDirectory/FilePattern with just SceneDirectory and FilePattern. A single .ass file is just a directory with one file. Move sample cornell.ass into scene/cornell.0001.ass to match. Signed-off-by: Rick Ramsay <49293857+rickrams@users.noreply.github.com>
