Hi,
maybe tis is a silly question but i have two computer (one at work and one at home).
When I work at home on a project created in my office i have some trouble with textures...because every textures looks for a directory that doesn't exist on my home computer and maxwell make the render without maps.
It is very annoying to change the texture directory of every object...so is there a simply way to find maps ?
I know that when 3dmax doesn't find texture on a project it ask for the texture directory.

thanx

Hi,
Within Rhino, open the Scene manager and then the options tab at the top.
You have a section called search paths, you can add 5 different ones for the textures.

Does this help you?

Is Plugin Options > Search Paths > Check Paths set to Yes? What is the value of the Search Depth option?

yep, it is set to yes.

But those objects have no maxwell material. They have only a texture.
Could it be the problem?

bye

Yes, the plugin can only fix paths for its own materials. You may be able to take care of the problem using main menu > File > Properties > Rhino Options > Files > Search Path > File search paths.
