Relink Bitmaps
Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.
Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free! There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag. It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script. If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.
Features:
[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time
This script will also automatically check for more recent versions of itself if you are connected to the internet and will let display the changelog so you can see what new features were added.
I'm also looking for full-time/part-time work in Game Development or ArchVis, please check out my portfolio at http://www.colinsenner.com and resume here (PDF).

Supported Max versions (32-bit and 64-bit): Max 2010, Max 2009, Max 2008, Max 9 (service pack 1+)
This tool is available to the community for free, but I kindly request if you see the value in time this tool saves you, that you donate whatever you can to help me pay off student loans. Every donation helps immensely. I do however understand that we’re all kind of in tough times and I understand if you aren’t able to donate immediately at this time. To donate simply click the “Donate!” button on the script. I am suggesting $4.99 for an individual, but whatever you can spare will insure the future development of this script and updates.
If you can't donate now, I hope it saves you time and headaches.
Be well everyone,
- Colin

I checked out your website/portfolio.
If you can't get a job in the field.. I don't know who can.
Keep sending out your demo reel and resume to companies, I am sure someone will see the potential in your work.
I also searched you on linkedin.com and couldn't find you there, you should definitely sign up, i think its a great resource and might come in handy.
Happy Holidays

Hey, thanks for the kind
Hey, thanks for the kind words and donation. I'm still looking for work in archvis or game dev. I always love hearing stories about how people use the script and how much time they've saved. It makes me feel good about all the time and effort I put into it. Hope you're well and your holidays are great. If you know of a job, ill basically work for free nowdays :)

Colin, this is an awesome
Colin, this is an awesome script.
I had a 3d apartment designed a few months back, and now that i need it rendered out as a video again for a demo reel.. to my disapointment more then half the bitmaps were missing in action.
Found your script, WORKED like a charm! only 2 bitmaps still missing, but thats no problem, definite time saver!
I am in between jobs now, but I donated to your cause anyway.
Will donate again once I land on my feet.
Thanks a ton.

I inherited this scene from someone else, and would NEVER have thought to look there (I rarely use scene states).
Excellent hunting!
It's in your scene states.
It's in your scene states. Tools / Manage Scene States and remove the 2 saved states.

Anyone up to the challenge
Anyone up to the challenge of finding the hiding spot of this sneaky #@^&# file ("map.jpg") in an otherwise EMPTY scene?
I've tried all I can, and can't figure it out... RB doesn't notice it as missing.
Best of luck!
