In this movie I want to show you how you can easily and quickly reallocate 2
textures in Redshift. Sometime, it can quickly happen that 3
your folder with the textures in a wrong place are located 4
as the Cinema 4D file and therefore the C4D file 5
can no longer find the textures. That´s exactly what we see here happens, 6
namely our characters don't have any textures anymore, so they will be 7
are displayed in black. For this example I use 8
a model from Mecabricks called "The idol 9
on Ozu by General Veers" and the missing 10
textures we can quickly reassign by selecting the menu 11
we go to "Redshift". Then we go to the "Redshift Asset 12
Manager". Then we will see a whole list of the textures 13
that are used in the scene. And all the textures that are red 14
are marked, Redshift will not find them in the materials. 15
We can fix this quickly and easily by using 16
selecting all textures at the same time, then pressing the right 17
mouse button or go to "Edit" in the menu and select 18
on "Relink Files" and then we specify the new path 19
where we think the textures are located. 20
I click on "Relink Files." Then we go to the corresponding 21
folder where the textures are located. 22
In my case, I go to the "textures" folder and click OK. 23
All the textures that are in the folder 24
will be changed from red to white, so they will be found here 25
all the textures. Now we could do the same again 26
with the file we used in the last movie. 27
If I drag the folder over here. 28
I take again the airplane model from the last film. 29
Simply drag it into the viewport and confirm the whole thing in the dialog box. 30
Then we have the 3D model in a completely new 31
Scene from C4D. 32
Then i can copy this model to the other scene. 33
Of course I could have done all this via "Merge Project". 34
I copy the model with "CTRL + C " to the clipboard and 35
and paste it into my scene with CTRL+V.Now he's asking us, 36
whether he should now create an absolute path, that he can thus 37
also finds the textures by pointing to the correct folder. 38
Now I may accidentally press "No" here instead of "YES". 39
So I did that and then in this scene it can´t find 40
the textures of our airplane. 41
Now we can do the same thing again. I'll use the "asset manager" again. 42
We see that it doesn't find the corresponding textures now, so I select 43
everything that it doesn't find, press the right mouse button and go to "Relink 44
Files". Then select the appropriate folder. Drag the window 45
because it opened in the second monitor. Then I go 46
now, of course, to the appropriate folder where the textures are. 47
Confirm the whole thing and then we see our textures. 48
So we've seen that it's extremely easy to reassign textures 49
via the "Redshift Asset Manager".
