magneto Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I did this before but now it gives me warnings that there are external references in my digital asset. Basically I have a subnet with SOPs that model a certain geometry. I also have a SHOPnet inside where I have a vopmaterial, and inside it a shader. I have parameters like ambient, diffuse, specular color, etc in the Lighting Model VOP, but when I ALT + middle click the parameters I want to export, I notice the Linked Channels have absolute paths like "obj/pool/pool/shopnet1/vopmaterial1...", instead of relative. Why does this not automatically use relative paths? I did it before and this is the first time it happens. Then I removed everything in the beginning so it starts with "shopnet1/..." but it still warns me for external references. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

hopbin9 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If you edit the linked channel does it revert back to absolute path? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelfs Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) How did you expose the parameter? If you used the "edit operator type" window I believe there's a toggle that enables relative paths... Sorry, I thought there was something, but nope... and I can't reproduce your particular issue. I do have an asset with shopnet and shaders inside but I just don't get the same error... Edited February 10, 2012 by rafaelfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 @hopbin, it doesn't but it was still giving me the same error. I will try to attach a file if I can repro it from scratch. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I found the problem. It was happening when I was exporting the parameter from a Parameter VOP directly, instead of going up and exporting the visible parameter up one level. So exporting a parameter directly from a Parameter VOP is the wrong way to do it then, right? Here is the image: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
