File not found in alternative paths!!! Urgent Help Needed

Hi Guys,
I urgently need your help! In My scene I am using some grass proxies. When I try to render I am getting these:

[18/September/2016 22:37:32] [18/September/2016 22:37:32] [INFO]: Dependency found: /Users/KC10/Desktop/160914_WaveCommunityHub/VP Real Grass - Maxwell/03 grass plants/VP Liriope Muscari/liriope_muscari_v5.mxs
[18/September/2016 22:37:32] [18/September/2016 22:37:32] [INFO]: Searching in alternative paths: E:\Skydrive\Vizpark\VP Real Grass - 3DsMax\03 grass plants\VP Liriope Muscari\VP_Liriope_Leaf_Variegated_NORM.png
[18/September/2016 22:37:32] Warning: [18/September/2016 22:37:32] [WARNING]: File not found in alternative paths: E:\Skydrive\Vizpark\VP Real Grass - 3DsMax\03 grass plants\VP Liriope Muscari\VP_Liriope_Leaf_Variegated_NORM.png

The render works locally , eventually it is able to find the correct folder. But when I try to submit it to RenderFarm it says textures has wrong filenames.

I tried to copy proxy in a clean file, doesn't work. I don't have textures Maxwell is looking for!

Is there a way to remove this warning?

Thank you

is there any chance you can rename and remove spaces and "-" from the path? usually nobody likes space and minus sign. try that. I mean try to semplify things, this is certainly some path issue.

Your dependencies must be stored on a network drive to be accessible from all nodes. When you're using a mapped drive you need to map this drive on every node in the same way. The easier way would be to use UNC paths.
As a quick fix you can open the scene in Studio and use "Pack&Go" to copy all dependencies (and the scene file) to a network folder and then start the network job from there.

So you're saying you don't have the "liriope_muscari_v5.mxs" in your scene?

Thank you, I managed to send it over last night (to render farm)
The problem was , all my Maxwell Proxy were saved in older version of Maxwell. I have re-saved them and all works now.

Cheers

simple solution I've used once: created small white images with those names, as i couldn't find them in a big scene that had imported stuff from others....
