I’m trying to batch relink some .max files using Batch Render&Relink, but it doesn’t work: reading the log I see ‘Message=”Not find asset files in the file”Message=”Not find asset files in the file”‘
What does it mean?
Thanks so much,

ModeratorPosts: 258Threads: 1137Joined: Aug 2009There are a few reasons why you can get this message.
1. You tried to relink files of the newer version of 3Ds Max.
2. Files don’t contain assets.
3. You use the Fast-Relink option with files older than 3Ds Max version 2010.
If you still need to help please generate the support request and attach a few from these files

ParticipantPosts: 12Threads: 36Joined: Mar 2022Thank you.
1. I can open the .max files. So I don’t think they are of a newer version of the one I use (which is 3ds Max 2023)
2. Files do contain texture maps, but they have no path assigned (paths must have been stripped)
3. I use Fast-Relink option but I’m pretty sure the .max files aren’t older than 3ds Max 2010
I generated a support request and just sent it to you.
Thank you for the help and awesome work on this plugin.

Thanks for the bug report.
I tested the files that you sent and neither of them doesn’t contain the required information
Usually, such files are saved with 3Ds max older than the 3Ds Max version.
In any case, these files can`t be relinked with the “fast mode” option.
You can always test them manually using 3ds max script commandsgetMAXFileAssetMetadata @”001_Vray.max” — undefined
getMAXFileAssetMetadata @”002_Vray.max” — undefinedgetMaxFileVersionData @”001_Vray.max” — undefined
getMaxFileVersionData @”002_Vray.max” — undefinedJust uncheck the “fast mode” option to relink
[Resolved]

I unchecked the ‘fast mode’ option and it works :)I’m thinking: it would be great if ‘fast mode’ could work even with ‘— undefined’ files.
Isn’t it something achievable?

3D Max is the proprietary, closed file format, so I think this is a question for 3D Max developers
