I wonder if somebody knows the rules of syntax for relative filesnames ?

For Example when I write:

myFilename=”.\ extures\myTexture.jpg”
the “.” refers to the current directory.

I wonder if somebody knows the official syntax ?

Thanks

Look at PathConfig Struct in the MaxScript Help. “…” is shown as a relative path, while “.” is shown as a normalized path. This Struct also has ways to convert to relative paths etc. Try using pathConfig.convertPathToRelativeTo <path1> <path2> to see what is returned.

Fantastic! That is exactly for what I looked.

The various tools for the conversion are really useful also.
I had begun to write similar functions because I ignored that they already existed.

Thank you very much PiXeL_MoNKeY
