Texture map links are broken when project is transferred to different workstation.

While you can relink materials by exporting the setting and adding a new library path on a different workstation when a project is transferred, unfortunately the textures maps of the vray materials seems to all be broken. Each time I transfer my project to another workstation, I need to painstakingly open each vray material and relink the texture to a the new file location. Is there away to embed texture maps into a .vray material?

Which is your V-Ray for Revit version?
The texture maps are embedded into the .vrmat.
Are you exporting all project settings and then load them into the project on the other machine? (when you go to Settings->Sharing, are all Export options marked?)

I've exported all settings and made sure that everything is checked when imported. I've made sample interior test rendering and as you can see the wall I've mapped on one workstation doesn't come through on the other woks station and therefore turns pink.

Can you also provide a screenshot of the error messages in the V-Ray progress bar?
Do you store the materials locally or on a network?

I've done a new test and have gotten the same results. Both revit file as well as vray materials and textures are locally saved.

The error says that there are .vrmat files that are entirely missing on workstation 2.
You need to set the paths to them under Material paths in the Settings dialog.
