Linked Files on Server

Want to start of by saying great add-on! Really appreciate what y'all are doing.

I have a couple linked .blends in my central .blend file to help things run a little quicker. All the links (as well as the main file) are saved in the same place on our server, so each computer I've synced with has access to them — plus the file path doesn't change between computers since everything is on the server. However, when I render, the linked items don't show. Any help on what to do to remedy this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Will this always be like this? I mean, packing solves the problem but I'm working on scenes with huge amounts of textures and objects, packing all of them results in blend files up to 10 gb. Will there be in the future a way to keep all assets linked?

Thanks!

Hi Juan,

No problem :) you didn't 'urge' us, its ok! We're glad to help. My goal is to be able to help more people though. And for this we need the community to support our project if we're to see the software keep pace with the change of technology, which is pretty fast, I mean, a year ago, we didn't have hardware accelerated ray tracing, today, we have it! Though it may not work yet with blender, if probably will do eventually, and of course, we'd love to make use of that and help people get fantastic render times, but this all takes a lot of development.

Support Crowdrender!
