Feel bit silly to advice, but I made twice same mistake recursively having typo in .xsi script for .ray3hosts. Are you sure XSI finds your linktab?

in render variables

setenv SI_LINKTAB_LOCATION "$XSI_USERHOME/linktab.ini"

Manual also described xsi was searhcing linktab from defined path, but it didn't. I had to describe the file also as in example, for both .ray3hosts and linktab.

Cheers

Hi All,

Anyone got some advice on linktabs?

I've tried setting it up both using a path with the environment
variable and dropping it in the XSI_HOME directory as per
http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/sdkdocs/abj447671.htm

I get this error
// WARNING : 3033 - Unable to resolve path:
\\isilon\fluid\users\alanj\manu-sp.jpg
// WARNING : 3033 - Unable to resolve path: S:\users\alanj\manu-sp.jpg

Using this linktab
c:\Softimage    /opt/Softimage
s:              /fluid
\\isilon\fluid  /fluid

Also I'd like to have two options for s: (because of a reverse
conversion for older scenes) - is it possible to have two options
there? s: -> unix would only use one but two different options on the
unix end should resolve to s:

I guess a good starting point would be how I can confirm whether it's rendered.

Cheers,

Alan.
