Member vertigo262 Posted October 1, 2017 Member Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hi Space Cases ! I notice when I am working on a project and create a smart material, it associates the Texture with the folder it is in. This makes perfect sense. However when the project folder is deleted or moved after completion, the Material still exists with an image in cache, and 3D Coat wanting the file location which no longer exists. My question is: is there a way or future way to be able to have the Texture copied to the documents folder, or an option to tell it to make a copy in the documents folder on material creation so that the materials can be used for future work without having to figure out where the texture file went. Because it would then be centralized in the Documents folder. So you can Archive or Create libraries while working on your existing project instead of manually copying each texture to the Documents folder while working on a project. Saves time, Makes for a faster workflow that can be used in future projects without premediatedly thinking about copying the textures into the document directory? Can this be done at all now? if not can it be done in the future? Raise ya hand if you think this should be part of 3D Coat! ok, so solutions?

Andrew Shpagin Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Use File->Create extension and choose all/some materials forders to migrate to other place. On new place use File->Install extension. Or at the same place, in this case textures will be copied to Documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member vertigo262 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Member Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Ok, that will work You should have the material ask if you want the textures put in the document folder on material creation would be a nice addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
