User Asset directory

Ideas & Requests

HI ,

Would be helpful if we could choose a directory for our user assets on another drive maybe as this folder will be very large eventually?

I used a batch script mklink for remapping My Assets folder.

C:\Users\YourPC\AppData\Roaming\D5 Render\library\material - current directory of your Assets
G:\D5\material - New Directory of your Assets.

I cannot yet find the directory of the Built in assets, You can only remap your custom assets.
Also, I hope they enable support for a folder structure within My Assets. You cannot yet organize your assets if you want.

mklink /D “C:\Users\YourPC\AppData\Roaming\D5 Render\library\material” “G:\D5\material”
mklink /D “C:\Users\YourPC\AppData\Roaming\D5 Render\library\model” “G:\D5\model”

pause

-paste this script in Notepad and replace the file extension as .Bat instead of .txt as you save.

  • Paste here : C:\Users\YourPC\AppData\Roaming\D5 Render\library
    -Run as Admin
    -Press any key
