We have a folder with the facefx-file and the FBX we used. Unfortunately, when moving that folder to another location, loading the actor gives me an error message that the FBX-file cannot be loaded because FaceFX is looking for it in the old location. Why are these paths stored as absolute paths instead of relative to the facefx file?
And how do I restore the link? Drag and drop to the Preview window gives me a message that tells me depending on where I drag the file, I either overwrite the actor or only change the preview (which is what I want) ... but to be honest, that warning doesn't help me solve the issue.
PS: Also, it seems that the preview animations no longer get imported when drag'n'dropping the FBX back into the project.
Paths are relative, but they are relative to the "clientspec" which is defined in this file:
Documents\FaceFX Studio 2015\facefx.clientspec
More info here:
https://facefx.com/documentation/2015.2/W257
To update the path, just go to Plugins->FBX Importer Options and change the path there.
Ah, cool, thank you, that solves it!
