Best place to store IES files?

[oliver_zink]

Where is the best location to store used IES files? We are working on different workstations. If we use IES files they are linked with an absolute path. We need to refresh every IES file path if we are opening the scene file on another workstation.

maybe setting a keyframe for the path helps. this is how we did it in 3.7.

In 3.7 we stored the files in the same directory / folder as the cinema4d project file and used a relative path. Now in Vray 5 only absolute paths seem to work.

The absolute file path requirement is a missing feature on our end. I have logged an issue for this and it will be fixed in a future update to work with relative file path to the cinema4d project file.
