Temporary Storage of Assets
Optimize your workflow by uploading shared assets (textures, caches, etc.) only once, even when rendering multiple scenes. This is especially useful if you have a slow internet connection or large asset files.
Phase 1: creation of your root FTP directory
To use this feature:
- Contact our support team to request activation.
- We will create a dedicated root FTP directory for you.
- You will receive the FTP login credentials (username and password) via email.
Note:
- This directory is temporary and should not be used as permanent storage.
- You can create multiple subdirectories within your root FTP directory to organize assets by project.
Phase 2: Project Preparation
RANCHecker handles the entire process:
- Open the “Advanced Settings” window in RANCHecker. (Need help? Click Help → Open Advanced Settings.)
- Specify a folder name for your assets (this folder will be uploaded by RANCHecker).
- Click “Prepare Project”.
- RANCHecker will only upload modified or new assets, saving time and bandwidth.
- Existing assets remain unchanged unless updated.
Important Considerations
✅ Multiple Asset Directories: You can create separate folders within your root FTP directory for different projects or asset types.
⚠️ Not for Permanent Storage:
- This feature is not a cloud storage solution.
- Delete unused assets from your FTP directory once they are no longer needed to free up space.
➕ Efficiency:
- Reduces upload time for repeated assets across multiple scenes.
- Ideal for large textures, caches, or shared resources.
