Relink Assets
Submitted by relief7 on Sat, 2008-12-27 19:10.Hi this is my version of a tool for relinking (missing) bitmaps which can not be found for whatever reasons (changed paths, moved files etc.). It is pretty straightforward and works with almost any type of asset (maps, HDRIs, IES files) as long as it can be referenced and seen in the asset browser. Due to copyright restrictions I can not publish the code right now but I hope that it can help you anyways until max itself has a better management for assets.

After being frustrated with Max's Photometic/Bitmap path plugin, I decided to write my own. Some features of mine that are not included in the plugin are:
