Gathering Files for Render Farm

[Noise]

I am going to send some animations to an external render farm, what is the best way to gather the files for sending so that it all works correctly at its destination ?

 

Thanks

Use either File->Archive or in Utilities Panel ->More->Resource Collector

Yeah I have used those but the file structure isn't working for some unknown reason

There's a couple scripts on scriptspot that do a better job than the built in one--for example, if you're using vray, they'll collect the vray proxies.

 

In general, if all of your maps/materials/etc are in the same folder as the max file, max will find them (again, except for Vray objects-proxies, irmaps, etc)

the script is very good. give it a try

I've had a look but do you know which scripts ?

[acjwalker]

Try this read on and it should have a resource collector, if not I have a file on my computer, PM me if you want it.

Thanks Andrew.

 

Have you installed any of these scripts by lele?

 

I have no idea how to install them - the instructions are not clear.
