So, I’m having a problem. How do you pack linked files? I did the file -> pack external files, and loaded the file and it worked. Then, I sent the file to a different partition and nothing that was linked, or was painted as a texture, or was even a linked duplicate inside of the file was there. Does anyone know how to solve it?
I second to that. Any good solution to this problem?
If you have only one layer of linking you can use the “Pack Blender Libraries” command which is accessible from search, but it is not perfect either. It does not pack the textures that are used in original files and does not work when you link something that is already linked (more than one level of linking).
At the moment I have used a hack script that copies all directly or indirectly linked blend files and texture images to another folder and preserves the relative subfolder structure. This is not an ideal solution but at least it works. I use it to collect and pack files for Amazon EC2 based render farm (using Brenda scripts by James Yonan).
