File Path management

Post by DragonsSpirit » Mon Nov 22, 2010 12:12 pm

Would be gr8 if one could setup global file paths for all exportable data in RealFlow. Example:

By default, I would like ALL meshes (or particles or whatever) to be stored in ****. RealFlow would not need to get manual input for every single mesh node or particle emitter or whatever but would simply put all stuff into ****. I could then edit some exceptions, rather than editing every single emitter.

Is this possible already and I dont know it?

Hi,

at the moment it is not possible to do such a thing, but we really would like to improve the workflow with paths. The use of user variables would be an example of it.

Now, there are only two ways of achieving what you want:
- Export the scene as XML, changing paths quickly with some text editor find/replace magic and reimport it.
- Through some basic scripts.

If you want more information about some of the approaches just let us know.

Thanks for the tip.
