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

Sure you can! Just get the word out to your friends/collegues so they're using it as well. Trying to pay off student loan debt :). But this tool will always be free in the end. And of course you're very welcome. Let me know if you find any bugs or problems.

I should have mentioned that

I should have mentioned that since I ran into it too. Relink Bitmaps needs to be run once before it's available via commandline. You don't need to do anything in the UI - just run it, then close it and it'll work in the listener...

Hmm.. I was trying to use max listener as you suggested but it doesn't work for me. When I type say:"sceneRelinkBitmaps"- nothing happens. Am I missing something ? Thanks and sorry for dumb questions:_
