I have some large 3d model collections and really want to know the best workflow to assign previews. I can’t find direction within the support forum or manual. My test collection is my ‘Design Connect’ assets, I’m guessing it might have something to do with “Separator” but I just don’t know?
How do I set up auto-assign to find these previews…however I have other collections which require different setups so where can I learn about the correct approach?
And after the above is solved I’ll have tones of objects that have no preview files. That’s when I’ll need to render them…is there a way to separate found and unfound previews assets for rendering?
Plugin version: latest
3ds Max version: 2020 sp3
Renderer: corona and vrayHi
Unfortunately, such filenames can’t be linked in auto mode.
For linking them manually you can turn off the filter by file-type
and just drag previews onto the related model’s file.
In the future the abilities to find related previews will be extended.
…is there a way to separate found and unfound previews assets for rendering?
In Batch Render Relink you can exclude from rendering files that already have thumbnails (option name “Skip existing thumbnails”). Only thumbnails with the same names as model will be excluded.
Hi!
Version 3.09 gains an ability to search associated previews using a non-strong searching method.
In your case, you should select the next options
Filename match => Levenshtein distance
and Ignore => <_mr><_vray><_preview><whitespace><-><_><&> or <regex:_mr|_vray|_preview|-|_|\s|&>
You can download the latest version from the dashboard.
Auto-updater will be triggered in a few days if there’s no critical issue found.
Thanks for your ideas!
