... anyone know of a way of FORCING maya to stick to RELATIVE paths ?
for instance ... a model with a texture - should query

/sourceimages/filename.ext

instead - it keeps reverting to the absolute path
D:/maya/testproject/sourceimages

EXTREMELY annoying!!!

I can't understand the logic of Maya's insistance on creating project directories if it keeps forcing absolute paths everything in the scene. Naturally, this hampers the ability for the user to move projects around the lab - or across town to other machines ...

Any ideas ?

Cheers,
Sammy

G'day

Mate, not sure..... I've never come across the problem myself.

Are your projects on another disk (ie a server on your network)? The only thing I can think of is a possible network hiccup (ie permissions, naming etc)?
