Hướng dẫn cài relink bitmap

Nếu các bạn đang sử dụng Corona làm render engine chính cho công việc của mình thì việc dùng Corona Bitmap là rất tối ưu cho Corona Renderer. ( hiển thị tốt hơn, render nhanh hơn, đẹp hơn,…) so với ảnh bitmap bình thường.

Corona Renderer có script để convert từ Bitmap sang Corona Bitmap nhưng đấy là dành cho vật thể hoặc scene đã gán sẵn vật liệu của render engine khác. Khi convert nó cũng có nhược điểm là sinh ra thêm một Corona Bitmap ngay cạnh Bitmap đang có thành ra giao diện bảng vật liệu nhìn rất rối mắt.

Khi chúng ta muốn làm việc nhanh, thường có thao tác kéo & thả ảnh map trực tiếp từ cửa sổ trình duyệt vào bảng M ( vật liệu ) luôn mà ít khi chọn cách chọn theo kiểu đường dẫn. Lúc này thì script convert kia của Corona không hoạt động cho vật liệu mới khi chưa gán cho object cụ thể.

Hướng dẫn cài relink bitmap

Vậy có cách nào để có thể tư động convert Bitmap thành Corona Bitmap nhanh chóng khi kéo thả Bitmap vào ô vật liệu ?

Câu trả lời là có, các bạn có thể dùng một script với tên gọi là ezMat, ý tưởng của tác giả là chúng ta sẽ đăt một hotkey cho cái thao tác convert đó. Khi bạn kéo Bitmap vào, nhấn hotkey, tự động nó sẽ chuyển sang Corona Bitmap, rất tiện và nhanh. Hơn nữa nó còn khá thông minh là tự rename luôn theo các kênh vật liệu như diffuse, reflection, normal map,… để chúng ta dễ dàng gán vào chính xác.

Hiện tại có 2 phiên bản của script này là bản lite free ( đủ xài cho nhu cầu cơ bản như đã nói ở trên ) và bản pro đầy đủ tính năng có giá 5$ ( cái này sau khi convert nó còn tự link map theo các kênh vật liệu luôn, chúng ta chỉ việc là kiểm tra lại xem nó có đúng không thôi )

Hướng dẫn cài relink bitmap

Script này hỗ trợ cho cả Corona Renderer lẫn Fstorm, nhưng trong khuôn khổ bài viết này mình chỉ làm hướng dẫn cho Corona Renderer mà thôi. Bạn nào xài Fstorm có thể tải về để trải nghiệm.

Cách cài đặt và sử dụng script này rất đơn giản, các bạn có thể xem video để biết chi tiết. Link tải ezMat ở ngay dưới video:

I've installed it on 3ds max 2023 and it works really slow. Both loading viewport and also relinking textures compared to time when I've used it on 3ds max 2022



  • I'm having a problem with 2023 Alberto Maciel | August 08, 2022 Verified Download (What's this?) Hello! Everybody in our office who upgraded to 2023 and is using Relink Bitmaps is having a problem where the RelinkBitmaps triggers the "missing bitmap" for EVERY SINGLE BITMAP in the scene. Even if the bitmap is in a path added to "external files" in 3ds max. The native 3ds max asset tracker (shift+t), finds the bitmaps (all set as "found") but the relink bitmaps are saying that they're missing. Is there a fix to that? cause we rely a lot on RB and at this point, we don't know which maps were and weren't actually found. We need to check on the pre-historic asset tracker

  • Viktoriia Mezhenkova | May 25, 2022 Are there plans to update for 3Ds Max 2023? Colin Senner (Publisher) | May 26, 2022 I haven't tested it personally with max 2023, but I've read the changes and it should work just fine with max 2023 if you follow the manual installation on my website.

Ive uninstalled the app and tried downloading again and installing but still no joy. Such a shame. Colin Senner (Publisher) | December 08, 2020 Did you use the Autodesk installer or the .mzp file available on my site? I use max 2021 semi-regularly and have no issues with Relink Bitmaps in it. Feel free to email me if you'd like to get it sorted out. It'd be helpful if I know what part doesn't work with 2021. Does it not pop up on your screen? Does it not relink a type of bitmap? Does it not relink any of the bitmaps? Colin Senner (Publisher) | February 01, 2021 Alan, I've attempted to get in contact with you to see if we can fix your issue with 2021. Can you email me directly and we'll get this sorted out. Colin Senner (Publisher) | May 24, 2021 I've just released a new version on my site with 2021-2022 support.

  • Seriously Useful Fix for annoying issue Don Bloomfield | November 12, 2019 Honestly, transferring max projects between systems shouldn't be so darn hard, but this at least fixes one major part of the drama. Haven't played with all options, but relinking for Vray material texture references worked brilliantly, then converting Vray to Std Material after gave me what I needed.

I used this script to reorganize my library and models. It made it too easy.You tell it where to look and it does the work for you. Now every time I purchase new models I can place them where I want them in my library and then let the script relocate the textures. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times, thank you.

  • Two clicks, problem solved Айдар Мухаметшин | May 27, 2019 Super plugin, saves time when opening old scenes, saves when max crashes and does not save added paths, greatly saves time searching for paths. A plugin that everyone who constantly works in 3dsmax should install. Great job!

  • Amazing this isn't built into 3dsmax--Its essential! David Moore | May 01, 2019 Verified Download (What's this?) This plugin makes jumping in and out of old files easy, its a life saver. Relinking bitmaps to downloaded assets etc. I have tryed alternaitves (Like from Sini software, which is a paid app) but this is by far the most user friendly and fast. Only word of caution is to keep the directories focused, ie have a few folders to reference. Not a full drive for everything as it will have to search everything so obviously take longer. Colin Senner (Publisher) | July 15, 2019 Good call on limiting the scope of searched directories. Glad to hear it's easy to use, as an artist myself I understand the needs of users :).

  • Shay Begleiter | April 15, 2019 This is the first script I install whenever setting up a Max. I see that I am not the only one, well it makes life so much easier! It's the best.

  • Best 3ds max mapping file serch Tool!! Seung Hyun | August 06, 2018 Verified Download (What's this?) It is also very fast to set up the whole hard disk. It takes about 1 minute to complete it, and it is possible to set a few folders separately. Required to install first


  • Permanently on my toolbar, and use it daily! James Carson | July 20, 2018 This script saves us a ton of time. We work on different machines, connected to different networks, and this script saves us a ton of time. We've had up to about 100 bitmaps in scenes, which would take forever to relink. Thankfully Colin wrote this! There are a couple things it doens't find, but I've asked Colin to add them to the next release. Fingers crossed they get added. On the day of this review it doesn't realize bitmaps are missing from the VRayHDRI material, and it doesn't realize Subtance .sbar files are missiong. Hoping these can be added, but if not, relinking those in 10 minutes isn't that big of a deal. Thanks Colin!
