3dcoat materials library, texture missing


Recommended Posts

Hi 

Does the location of that folder exist or are the textures stored in another location ? (Z:\MTLScanE\Ground\...)
Please see if the textures are in that folder or must be relinked manually.

Does 3D Coat not save textures along with Smart Material? I don't understand. I used a lot of bought packs in the past with all intact Textures. When I create my own, 3D Coat seemingly stores only the references to where the textures are on disk. Now my disk changed.

I would assume that saving a custom Smart Material will save alongside all the Data it needs. I have encountered two broken custom materials today, hence I found this threat.

I wonder how bought Materials work then, there's gotta be a way to store the textures into the Smart Material and if so, I don't understand why they can "brake".

Is the only way to secure your Smart Materials to export them yourself as Extension from time to time?

Yes, currently is the correct option. Or save it on external disk or cloud storage.

Also you can relocate the library using this command
