Texture path

[ruby_vandeursen]

Hi,

By default the texture path of the Cosmos Browser is set to C://users/ When opening a project on another computer it doesn't see the textures. To avoid this, would it be wise to change the path to a local directory? If so, where do I do this? We have an external disk that holds all of our textures.

Hi ruby_vandeursen, you can find more about changing the Cosmos directory in the documentation here. It should work with a shared network location.

Note that saving the project with assets (from "File" -> "Save Project with Assets...") should also copy all the relevant Cosmos objects and textures to the project directory and it should be easily packed / transferred.

Sure you can change the Path of the Cosmos Browser.

Above your search bar for me on the Top Left (but that depends on window size) is a Settings Menu - 3 dots - and under Settings you are able to change the Cosmos Path.

That's it, thanks!

So now I have another problem. Lately I've been experiencing some unexpected results and to be sure we installed the computer from scratch. Everything works fine but loading textures is very slow. The textures are in the tex folder as well as our central directory. This directory is added in the file assets path in the preferences tab. When unchecking the enable preview in the Vray tab under preferences it runs a bit faster but still not how it should be. Our workflow always used to be with previews enabled as I find them very usefull. In the VFB the response time in changing the texture appearance is also slower than normal. I'm out of suggestions, maybe someone here familiar with this?

For now this is fixed, Dropbox was synchronizing all files in the background
