I am trying to create a situation where I can create a new c4d file where that parameter is automatically dynamically linked to a /tex directory with the name of the c4d file included in the path. For example, I could open c4d, save the new scene as a new file called "c4dTest.c4d" and I'd like the Texture Search Path to automatically become "serverDirectoryBlahBlahBlah/c4dTest/tex". And I'm guessing the token'd path would be something like "serverDirectoryBlahBlahBlah/%sceneName%/tex" with percentage signs or something.</P><P>Is what I'm asking impossible? The reason why I want this is because I am going to be exporting .ass files to a server where I have a directory with different project scenes in their own folders. One of those folders would be /c4dTest with a /tex folder in it. Using string tokens for this parameter would be pretty convenient to always link to the proper tex folder so that I don't have to specify it every time.</P><P>I know this is super mundane since literally all I have to do is append "theSceneName/tex" to the server directory location for each new c4d project but I suppose I just love the idea of automation. Also if there is a better/more official methodology of doing this I'd like to know that instead.</P><P>Thanks!</P> Wed, 03 Jul 2019 05:27:41 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/arnold-for-cinema-4d-forum/c4dtoa-texture-search-path-string-tokens/m-p/11054667#M7127 Anonymous 2019-07-03T05:27:41Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/arnold-for-cinema-4d-forum/c4dtoa-texture-search-path-string-tokens/m-p/11054668#M7128 <P>Currently tokens are not allowed in search paths. Should not be difficult to add support for them in a next release.</P> Wed, 03 Jul 2019 07:04:40 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/arnold-for-cinema-4d-forum/c4dtoa-texture-search-path-string-tokens/m-p/11054668#M7128 peter.horvath6V6K3 2019-07-03T07:04:40Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/arnold-for-cinema-4d-forum/c4dtoa-texture-search-path-string-tokens/m-p/11054669#M7129 <P><A rel="user" href="https://answers.arnoldrenderer.com/users/63/peterhorvath6v6k3.html" nodeid="63">@Peter Horvath</A> thanks for the answer!
