Archive Scene not saving image files imported with AiImage

Anonymous — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 05:39:36 GMT

I have an issue when I archive a scene, maya only archives the files that are imported with the “2d texture file” nodes not the aiImage files. Is there a way to correct this or to correctly archive a scene?

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous,

thanks for making us aware of this. I could reproduce the behavior and logged this at development. As of now, I would recommend to manually create a zip file of the Maya project. In case that not all textures are stored into the project, you can use the File Path Editor at Windows > General Editors > File Path Editor to collect all textures.

Best regards,

Patrick

In case anyone isn't counting, it's 2024 and this is still not fixed (4 years).
