I now have a machine at home so I can continue working from there if required. I have a VPN connection set up so I can have vray find the license. It works fine. However, if I, for example, archive a project whilst I am in the office, and bring that file home with me, unzip it and launch the max fi…

Two things I can recommend. Use mapped drive so at home and in the office the drive letters are the same (but paths can be different) so long as their resulting directories are the same. Or at home you can add your directory to custom user paths, so max looks there if it can’t find the textures anyw…

if you had to keep the unc paths, but you only have 1 server with stuff on at work, you can go the whole hog and rename your workstation at home the same as the server in the office, and give it the same drive letter. bit of a drastic solution but means all your files will work as they are.

I use Chromes Remote Desktop and control my office machine from home. 30Mb at home, and 30Mb in the office, and no delays.

Not sure if it is still the case, but Max used to look in the same directory as your scene file for maps first, regardless of any map path information. If this is still the case you should be able to dump the maps in the same directory as your scene and be good to go. I know I used to do this regula…

I am not sure why you are asking… well, I know why you are, but isn’t as easy as setting “Convert local file paths to Relative” in your Preference Settings.

I will give this another try tonight. I am copying our entire ASSETS folder to an external hard disk which I will connect to my home PC. We need to use UNC naming so that DR works when our slaves are set with spawner as a process. So, work address of ASSETS is as follows:- \\server\bank\ASSETS\TE…

I just use Relink Bitmaps to switch the textures from our remote servers (that I VPN into as well), and set it to “All Bitmaps” (which will make the script not care if they’re missing or not, try and relink them anyway), and point it to my local copy of all the textures.
