I have been trying for days to get an answer to this damn issue and so far most people post conjectures. Which is nice and appreciated, but I really could use a solution! I have anouther post here: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/104493/the-image-renders-pink-possible-texture-material-error
However, this issue is a bit too messy to explain over text and images. Please refer to this 1 minute video! It shows you everything: https://vimeo.com/261076658
Please note that when I try CPU rendering. I actually get to render but everything is still pink. All the materials and textures are there and I have directories for each of them. However, when I try to fetch files or ask for files to be reported missing. Literally nothing…
If you have any other questions about the issue please refer to the link i have earlier or ask here. I am sorry for sounding so forward. This has been driving me CRAZY!
