Relative Texture Paths

[davus]

So i'm trying to send my file off to a render farm, but i can't seem to get my textures to link relatively. i know that if you set up your project in the maya>projects folder and use that file system things are supposed to link up.....but it seems i missed a step because when i move that project to another machine a work to test the links, they aren't linked properly anymore. I don't really understand the problem......if anyone can help me it would be appreciated.....and please be specific because i'm sure it's a small thing i'm missing. Thanx in advance -D

when setting up a new project use either global network paths (e.g. //host/share/dir/) or there ought to be mapped source drive under the exactly same letter for all computers (e.g. Z:) You going to work on.
as far as I remember it worked for me.

or dont type full paths in maya in forstplace. heoever if you use browse maya automaticaly make them accurate if tehy are project relative all you need to do is delete the rpoject root out fo them.

Also then theres the super command dirmap wich can be used to internaly say that this drive path shard is now this path, globaly in maya. VERY USEFULL in theese kinds of situations. but dirmap command reference does actualy contain all the info you need
