Thankyou Martin, did it all manually, this time saving backups on ext.drive 'as' with copy of pictures.
my first impression was always that habits of scripting for saving time, was 1) difficult to learn what to how to script lines 2) sometimes the difficulties when coping with the 'image' interface, are like a steep 'climax' curve, which when overpassed, produces magnifiscent results. i fear that by sticking to code script lines, things run smooth, and that's how you end up in big business production lines, and starts dreaming about sandwishes. but prove me wrong, i could change my opinion, that would be my pleasure.. 2017-07-11 11:28 GMT+02:00 Martin Yara <[email protected]>: > If you have your textures inside your Project Folder, keep the textures in > local path, and keep the [system] folder when you move your Project Folder, > your texture paths will never break no matter what. > > When you use paths like C:\OldPC\Pictures\texture.tga , you are using > Full Paths, meaning Softimage looks for that precise folder. > If you use Pictures\texture.tga, Softimage will look into the Picture > folder that is inside your current Project Folder.
