Constructor not exporting textures associated with model

by John Spivey · in Artist Corner · 04/18/2007 (9:57 am) · 2 replies

When I compile a model to a specific directory with the export as dif button it does not export the textures associated with the model. This is kind of a pain. IS this something that needs fixing or is it something I am doing wrong?

Thanks

It would be pretty simple to fix but it definitely isn't the desired behavior for everyone. A lot of people simply set up their texture albums to point to the textures already in place in their working project directory where they plan to export the DIF so having it copy the textures onto themselves is a waste of time and resources.

I can apreciate that. How about a seperate export option so that you can export the textures when you need to? Would that be terribly difficult?
