User path issue with Globe Plants

Quote from houseofmanuela

Hello there lovely Enscape people,

I have just discovered the Globe Plants website and I am impressed with the quality of the models I have purchased.

The only downside is that the plant models have to be stored in the root folder of the C drive (not ideal at all) in order for Enscape to read the textures correctly.

If I may wave my arms about and ask for this to be addressed at the next Enscape update please!!!

Those plant models are such a good resource and I'm sure many SketchUp-Enscape professional users would benefit from them.

Many thanks.

Cheers,

Manuela

Thank you; we'll try to have a look at that to see what we can do. May I also ask why this poses a problem to your in general? Then I can forward that as feedback too.

Hey Manuela, thank you for your kind messages!

I've reached out to Globe Plants to ask for a sample file (I didn't find any free samples on their website).

I'll love to check this issue, I bet there's some possible solution to this.

I'll let you know as soon as I have gained some insights.

If you do find a solution, please share it here as other content creators (like us) could benefit from it.

Hey everybody,

So, I'm afraid this is legitimate the reason is we don't have a texture-relinking-workflow at the moment, so all texture paths had to be set explicitly by the guys at Globe Plants (great job, by the way!).

I will file your requests as feature upvotes for a texture relinking workflow, though, so we can one day provide a more convenient solution.

If it's really pressing, Manuela, you can transfer the Globe Plant files over to a different drive, but you would have to relink all the textures manually, which is probably quite the task..

Any news about this case? ( globe plants )?

Yeah - Im curious about this as well.

You can purchase Globe Plants assets on the 3D Bazaar, and it will automatically relink texture and proxy paths when importing. No need to have them at the root of C:/, the assets can be downloaded anywhere.

There is also a context-menu (right-click) utility to relink maps and proxies in an existing component, in case you already have imported Globe Plants assets in existing projects. Or if you move these assets on your drive, or to another drive.

Hi all. We at Globe Plants are actively trying to resolve this issue and with the current 3.1 Custom Asset Library we have found a solution. Although it would still take us a fair bit of work to do in the custom asset library due to the material typing have to manually adjusted.

We will be creating Enscape custom library for our bundles on our store so users can import them into other softwares that use Enscape like Revit or Rhino.

Only downside/(upside for some?) is we only do this for low poly assets (so Enscape custom asset can load them) so the quality of the models will be lower than the current high poly ones on our store.
