I created five custom materials, each with a different image label. Since this is specific to a client,I saved this as :
"C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\My Documents\KeyShot\Materials\clientA.mtl"
The five images used as label maps for the materials are in a folder called:
"C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\My Documents\KeyShot\Labels\"
Just so my co-workers can use the same material set, can I specify a generic path to the root folder in the .mtl file? For example:
-------------------------------------------
"texture" "..\Labels\Label1.tif",
-------------------------------------------
I don't think this works. You will need absolute paths.
QuoteI don't think this works. You will need absolute paths.
Not true. I do it all the time in my material files.
You can't specify relative paths, however, you can use "generic" paths.
Here is an example from my material file:
"texture" "wood\ash\ash_01_NRM.jpg",
Where wood is a directory in my textures folder.
Hope that helps.

excellent - good to know!
