Fur Color Maps - Linking Errors

[gamblor]

fur will not render on our render farm. When I create the fur I set the base color with a file image and a base color file gets created in furAttrMap which is fine but it also creates an expression that point to my c drive and hence errors when it is on the farm. The expression looks like string

$frmaeExtn = file15.frameExtension;
setAttr "sas_fur1.BaseAmbientColorMap[0]" -type "string" "C:/Documents and Settings/Mike/Desktop/Maya Project folder/new_textures/fur_color.iff" ;

I have my project folder set and the color map sits within the project folder but it still creates the expression

Did you plug in a file texture or did you assign a map in the Details section ? Get rid of your fileIn and map the texture directly in the Details/BaseColor section.

I know what you mean but when I click on the add item or the map item nothing comes up? should I get another window or something else?

Yes, you should select the geometry on the assigned surfaces section of the fur description tab.

It is just under the global scale of the fur inside the attribute editor. Every time you want to map something directly on the details you will have to select the geometry first.
