Below I've posted a quick movie to show three different tools / methods for managing texture files that are associated with a given Maya scene file.  The tools that are covered are...

• Archive Scene
• ChangeTexture Paths (BonusTools)
• Organize Files (BonusTools)
  

A fourth method, which is not covered in this movie, is to simply export the Maya scene to FBX format and choose the "embed textures" option.  This will put the texture files themselves into the same FBX file as the other scene data (although some Maya specific data may not be preserved using this method.)

Note:  I have made an update to one of the BonusTools scripts for "Change Texture Paths" which I've posted below.  This fixes a bug related to setting relative paths.  You could not do what is shown in the demo movie in the previous version of this tool.  This update will be added to the next release of BonusTools but in the meantime you can download this script...

relocateTexturesWin  (MEL script)

After downloading and extracting the script do one of the following...

1.  Replace the old relocateTexturesWin.mel file in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MayaBonusTools2009\scripts\. with this updated version

  or...

2.  Simply copy this script into  ->  MyDocs\Maya09\scripts\.  (2009-x64 for 64 bit).  This will override the one that is installed with bonusTools.
