cops to material

[Jesper Rahlff]

I am trying to edit a texture using cop2net or img network.

I can do the edit of the image alright, but in my principled shader, trying to refer to that image it wont work.

shouldn't I be able,in my bump map slot on the principled shader, to input a relative path like: ../../cop2net1/Bump_map/OUT/ or in case of img network: /img/Bump_map/OUT/

 

I have not used cops before, so maybe I am doing something wrong. Do I need to force it to export into other context?

 

any help is appreciated.

cheers

for anyone curious about this, I had succes by using the old op:fullpath expression.

In my case it looked like this: op:`opfullpath("../../cop2net1/Bump_map/OUT/")`

I would love to know why I have to use that expresion rather than just a relative path like ../../cop2net1/Bump_map/OUT/

anytime you have a parameter that expects a file, like a bump map slot, if you want to use live data from your hip you need to use the op: syntax.

good to know, I was not aware. Thanks
