hi folks,

is there a maya built-in function to update the path that maya will use to find the textures
of a project?

i am changing my folder structure often to experiment with better workflow, but everytime i do, naturally, the textures get lost to maya. all textures are located in one folder, so i thought maybe there is something like: as soon as i replug one texture from the new folder, have maya smart-reconnect the other ones missing, too, from that very folder?

basically, just having a path to a texture folder, which is not part of the current maya project. so that i just have to change the path to that folder, once i rename something.

thanks,
martin

Maya does locate texture if tis in same folder ....

just u need 2 set d Project ... ---FILE--->PROJECT--->SET


n o btw... try n avoid using absolute paths...for example
(D:\myProject\Texture Library\myTex.tiff)

if u have set the Project Directory "(D:\myProject)" u can use Relative paths
(\texture Lirary\myTex.Tiff)
