I only localized right before ready to render and we keep a separate save
file just in case we need to come back to it.

I made a quick little script to go through all the models and localize those
that needed it.


var oRoot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root;

var oChild = oRoot.FindChildren("*",siModelType,null,false);

logmessage(oChild.count);

for(i=0; i < oChild.count ;i++)
{
	if(getvalue(oChild(i) + ".referenced_model") == true)
	{
		MakeModelLocal(oChild(i));
		logmessage (oChild(i).Name + " has been localized");
	}
	else
		logmessage (oChild(i).Name + " has been skiped (already
localized)");

}

Hi Greg, Brian Anthony, thx for the advice.
I am weary of localizing our referenced asset unless it becomes really 
necessary, but I am still gaging our network load.

I was curious about localizing the texture path, since I will be looking 
at this first. Is this a seperate manual process from submitting to the 
royalRenderQ or is it part built in ?
And how do you do you handle texture redirection, to you have to rewrite 
the .scntoc file or is this all done automatically through the Q software 
?

THX
