is it possible to 'package' a rhino file with vray materials?????

i'm having trouble when opening a rhino file on another computer as it cannot reference the materials form the original c drive. is it possible to save/package materials into a rhino file? ?

thanks!

pretty sure you can't embed the image files into the rhino file. but v-ray remembers relative paths, so i usually make a project folder with the rhino file in it, then an images subfolder with all the material images in that. if you move/copy the top level folder, all the images stay linked. i know this seems irritating wrt having a materials library, but i usually wind up tweaking my library images for each project anyway, so having a project-specific image folder actually makes a lot of sense. also, when you export the vray material to a vismat, the referenced image goes to the same location, making them easy to find and relink.
