Missing materials only on some computers when rendering.

Please can you help?

I'm rendering off using ART, a sequence of images and once I submit my laptop and desktop render fine, however 4 node computers don't render some materials.  Eg it finds the material of the land fine - so it can see the materials folder.

 

They all have the same version of the software etc, as they were all updated last week.  Not sure what else to check - any suggestions. 

 

Thanks in advanceexample.jpg

There is a script and I can live without, is called relinkbitmap.

The concept is simple, it searches on the folder that you point to all textures, materials, and objects that are missing in your scene or that has broken links.

Even though you could do the same with 3D Max, this link does everything very quickly.

it is free but you can donate the developer, what I totally recommend.

 

Remember that all machines should be able to access the folder or folders that have all the assets for your image, textures and objects. all render nodes should be able to read and write on those folders.
