Hi,

 

Try clicking the 'Ignore Case' tickbox, sometimes that helps.
Although I have heard of it not being as good at finding bitmaps as it used to be, maybe something changed in Max or Relink Bitmaps. Some people have been trying 'Project Manager' 'Find and Replace' instead, and that has worked where Relink Bitmaps didn't.

Regards,

Hi,

 

I just dragged and dropped an older version "Relink Bitmaps 2.14" .mzp into the 3DSMax scene window.
It replaced my 2.16 version. I ran it and it found a lot of missing Bitmaps that 2.16 didn't find.
So it looks like the solution for now is to 'downgrade' to Relink Bitmaps 2.14.

The only thing that has changed recently for me is a few Windows Updates, so that might have broken 2.16?

Here is a direct link to Relink Bitmaps 2.14

Maybe give that a go.
Regards

Strange that no maps are showing in your list, even though you've got All Bitmaps checked.  

 

Note that if your materials aren't using Bitmap or VRayBitmaps, the script won't recognize them.  Some imported materials from Revit will use Autodesk Bitmaps which will need to be converted.

You could also try using kstudio's project manager. They have a demo and it's much more robust.
