CGarchitect.com - View Single Post - working on the same max files from home and office

Bugga_Guy · January 2nd, 2008

I have a question about working with max files on different computers (ie home and office). At times I often bring work home from the office but the problem is that my texture library is linked to a different drive (ie n

and at home (ie c

so all the texture maps are always missing and its useless to re-link manually because it takes forever.

Is there a proper way to "trick" max in thinking that I am working on a n: - or is there a easy way to do to take 3d files with texture maps work on it at one location and then move it to another location and have everything work fine on the renderfarm?

I often wonder how remote renderframs work (like rendercore.com)? Working on a computer then sending the file with texture maps to a rendering company and have everything work fine even if the paths are different.
