Hi Is there (or will there be in the future?) a pack scene function in vray for 3dsmax (like in vray for sketchup)? ---

If you mean archive whole scene with textures and all that stuff to one file, its already there in max - save as - archive. ---

You can also use the 3ds Max resource collector. The advantage. It can re-write all the bitmap paths to the destination folder so when you re-open it one day all the maps won’t be missing. ---

I knew about the save as archive but it bugs and doesn’t work 2 times on 3 for me. Where can I find that : “3ds Max resource collector”? Is this build in Max? I’m using the asset collector script from Morozov Anton, it work 90% of the time, still few maps here and there that he can’t relocate, no clue why, so i have to finilize the collection by hand.

Thanks, good to know. It’s actually bugs out. It re-pathed only half of my textures and didn’t touched at all to the \*.vrmesh So the script I’m using is doing a better job even if it’s not perfect and I need to manually move few jpeg to the new location, but 90% is done where as this collector doesn’t even do 50%. Thanks for the tip anyways, Stan ---

maxarchive probably chickens out due to size. Have not tried with more recent versions, but last i tried the zips could only be 2GB in size. So if you have a lot of assets that breaks. Cheers, Thorsten ---

I fixed it in the mean time, reverted to project manager from Kstudio, rock solid unlike the hundred of all other scripts I tried. Stan ---

Project manager has an option to pack the scene ? Where is it located ?
