External Files
For the moment, Blender RANCHecker does not automatically add all external files inside the .vub archive.
Hereunder the automatically packed external files:
- Images sequences
- VDB
- ABC
- MDD
- IES
Add Others caches format:
For the other external files, some manual steps are required to properly render your caches::
- Put your caches in the same location than your scene (you can add a subfolder if you want, ex: cache/myCache.xxx)
- Set relative path for your caches in your Blender scene.(ex: //…\cache\myCache.xxx)
If you have multiple caches you can use the function: File > External Data > Make Paths Relative
- Create the .vub with RANCHecker.
The VUB archive created by RANCHecker, is actually a ZIP file renamed into “.vub”.
So you can insert manually your caches inside it, by following those quick steps :
- Open the VUB archive with 7zip (right-click > open with: 7zip manager)
- Drag & drop your “cache” directory inside the VUB
- Drag & drop your .blend scene inside the VUB
