.Vrscene save path (sending whole animated scene to Vantage standalone)

Vantage General
1

Hi all,

Does anyone know if this path can be changed? I’ve checked preferences but nothing here to change this. So the problem is when Vantage is saving a very large scene with moving anima people it can create a 250gb file, we don’t want this file to sit on our server and get backed up. As far as I can see there is no way to change the default save of the .vrscene to anything other than where your max file is saved?

I know I could probably save the max file to a local drive but seems a tiny bit of a pain to do this every time.

Cheers,

Jason

Hi. It’s not configurable currently, but you could hack the script to save to another location.

Hack follows:
The file is C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\Vantage\dcc_scripts\3dsMax\Vantage-UtilityFunctions.ms and on line 163 inside function VRayVantage_exportVrscene it initializes the variable vrscenePath based on the max scene path. You could edit this to your liking and when you reload Max it should save to the new location. Note that Vantage updates will overwrite this file.
