Distributed Rendering Texture Question

[ignuf]

ok thanks guys for your help so far

still having problems, probably because i'm currently so unfamiliar with using the Terminal.

when I enter the $ export VRAY_ASSETS_PATH etc... and hit enter , all i get in the terminal as a response is ">" what does this mean, is it that its accepted the command, or waiting for more input ? I tried entering the env | grep ... line but just get the ">" response again.

wish there was an app for that

I think you should see "$", but I'm mostly linux guy, so I may be wrong.
Are you sure you've closed all your quotes? If you have typed an opening quote, then you should type a closing quote.
If you don't do so the shell will think that you want to enter multi-line strings.
This is what happens on linux.

If you still have problems, please attach a screen shot. This way it will be easier to see what exactly you're doing.

Hi Teodor,

thanks again,
ok, after what you suggested, think I've made minor progress in that the terminal now goes to the user$ prompt after I enter the VRAY_ASSETS_PATH="/Users/ignuf/Documents/projects_personal/kings_collage/sourceimages"

the grep command hasn't worked though unfortunately, so the only way I know if its worked or not worked, is when I hit render and get :-

warning: Bitmap file "D:/projects_personal/kingsCollage_Project/sourceimages/kingsColl_wal_col_4k.png" failed to load: [LoadImageFile] Failed to open file: no such file

so far, the render slave is still looking for the D:/ drive of the PC. when i enter the VRAY_ASSETS_PATH command should I be in a particular directory ?
