#3DS MAX Wish
5 messages in this thread
Sure would be nice if 3DS MAX PRJ files had the option of saving _ALL_ relevant
information. That would mean bitmaps, ipas, and any other information linked
to the project in any way. I want to be able to save a project, tote it to
another computer that is not connected in any way) and load the project up and
go straight to renedering. That means all bitmaps and the such would have to
go along in the project. This would make backing up a lot easier also. I
pulled an old animation file off a backup today only to find that some of the
bitmap files I had used in the materials were not on my server any longer. I'm
left only to redo all the bitmaps for that project.
Thanks,
Daniel
Daniel,
Have you checked out the PKZIP -a option in your 3DS.SET file for 3D
Studio R4?

I've had good luck with this, except that it doesn't seem to save the mapfile
for a bitmapped background. ('Lost a good one that way…)

Daniel (and Jonas),
We don't want those PRJ files any bigger than they have to be. <g>
Thats why they added the ARCHIVE command under the FILE pull down menu. I
frequently do this when delivering a project to a client (and back-ups).
This will gather all bitmaps along with the prj info. It will not do IPAS
routines as this would sometimes violate copyright info, but it will notify
you if any are present.
Jonas, I believe this wish was already answered. Good work!<g> Although I
believe the archive may miss the background bitmap. I'll check that later…
and may re-wish archive to save background bitmap.
