So I am using two completely separate computers when rendering a certain animation with Blender. One to set up the scene and the other to actually render it. I import files to the first computer, set up the scene and save the scene when it is ready. Then when I try to use the other computer (it has a better GPU) to render the scene, I upload the saved blender file from the previous computer but the scene does not animate because the path to use the files within the scene is the path used on the other computer. So is there a way to manually change the path to somewhere else when using a different computer? Is the only way to re-type the same path and try to “trick” Blender into thinking it still using the same path?
try placing the external assets where the .blend is and setting the paths to relative. File menu -> external data -> make all paths relative. The submenu also has find missing files option to show in which folder the missing files are.
