Project Archving

[Brandon_Pike]

When archiving projects, how do you archive the accu-render materials along with that? I am under the impression that when you save a new material in the user folder that you can only export/copy the entire user.mlib file; how do you export/copy individual materials into an archived folder?

Thanks,

I don't think you can save just the materials for the project. You can save the MLIB file with the project, but you should be backing up your material and plant library files all the time. You spend too much time making those materials to loose them. The MLIB file would be handy if you pass the project on to someone else.
Alternatively you can create a new library and save all your materials in the new library, will be very tme consuming.

When you start a project, create a project library in the project folder.

I just thought of this, what if instead of creating a project folder in the user library or a project library in the project folder, I create a project library for every project in the same folder as the user library, that way I don't have to remap or add a map to a new library in a project folder.

unfortunately I have found that Accurender material editing becomes EXTREMELY slow when the materials are mapped to a network drive, even over a gigabit network. I can only get bearable speeds when using my local user Accurender folder.
