Material Textures not found

nzjimmy2001 · May 18th, 2007

When I choose a Maxwell material I have to repath all the textures in the Material as they are looking for strange locations that don't exist on my computer. I have tried Cutomize User Paths to show where the textures are kept but Max never remembers these for future use. It is very frustrating. Help would be appreciated.

once you repath the textures you have to export that texture so that the new path information is saved if you don't you'll always run into this problem.

i repathed the materials using customize user paths and then i tried on one material to export, over writing same material with the export. is this what you meant coz it still didn't remember the material texture location when i closed and reopened the file.
