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

Collin,

CollectoREX seemed like a nice tool if the author would answer my emails and the tool did not crash in Max2010Design.

Kutsanan, If you are really

Kutsanan,

If you are really nagged by this dialog, you are probably using this script a lot. So you should simply make a donation, after which you will get a keyfile that removes the nag-screen ;)

Collin, Yes I have tried all

Collin,

Yes I have tried all kinds of utilities for this. But they either crash, are not compatible with some plugins I use, have strange licensing systems, are not updated regularly or do not support ALL assets visible in Max's asset tracker. I just keep hoping for one script/plugin that takes care of ALL my asset handling ;)

I'll look into it, though

I'll look into it, though there are some utilities that already do this on this site, I'll check into it asap.
