  • Specify path for textures in a mixed OS environment

    Hi,

    I would love a better way to specify where vray looks for textures if it cant find them. heres is my example:

    I am working on a Mac and all our render servers are PC's, so if I create a project on my mac, it will look for textures in :

    /Volumes/projectname/sourceimages

    Now a PC would expect something like this:

    \\servename\projectname\sourceimages
    or
    Y:\\projectname\sourceimages

    We have the opportunity to set the environment variable on the PC, but then when we create a new project, we will have to create a new environment variable on all the PC's or worse, keep all textures in the same folder for all projects (messy)

    so my request is that you get a setting in render settings where you can specify the path for different OS'es:

    Enable mixed OS environment [x]
    Windows path: \\RenderServer1\myProjects\client\sourceimages
    Linux Path:
    Mac Path:

    This should be saved with the scene.
    Kind regards
