Script - 3Ds Max convert path to UNC

[adios]

Hi,

I Have a great script that convert maps and objects path to UNC path, for NET rendering.

(G: --> \\NDH-FS01\Users, in my case).

I need it to convert WEB file (Photometric IES file) path also.

I tried to change the code but with no success.

did someone know how to script that feature.

 

-- converting path to UNC
pathConfig.convertPathToUnc "\\NDH-FS01\Users"

-- maps path
for m in (getClassInstances bitmapTexture) do
m.fileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc m.fileName

-- set Render Output path
rendOutputFilename = "\\NDH-FS01\Users"

-- set Render Elements path
re = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
for n = 0 to (re.NumRenderElements() - 1) do
(
el = re.GetRenderElement n
fl = re.GetRenderElementFileName n

el.bitmap.fileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc fl
--or...
re.SetRenderElementFilename n (pathConfig.convertPathToUnc fl)
)


-- XRef Objects path
for obj in objects where IsKindOf obj XRefObject do
(
obj.proxyFileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc obj.proxyFileName
obj.fileName = pathConfig.convertPathToUnc obj.fileName
updateXRef obj
)

 

Thanks in advance.

Is something wrong with your Asset Manager? Shift+T and then just right click and select Convert to UNC. There is no need for a script.

Hi,

Nothing is wrong with it, :-)

I work with small team and we use distributed rendering.

It's much easier to use the pre-render script option.

The script is already doing a great job except this part.

It is very convenient to use script when you work with team.

Thanks..

Does anybody have an idea?
