Relative paths for TyCache

[tjopsta]

Hi there,

I am rendering a scene with Azure Batch (Parallel rendering of scene) which uses tyflow to render some particles.  When generating the tycache, an absolute folder is specified that the tycache is output to.  The layer in 3ds max then looks at this folder for the cache objects.  Is it possible to specify the folder where the tycache is relative to the scene file?  In our render farm the VMs to render the scene is dynamically created and destroyed and does not use the same folder path structure that the user that created the model would use.  So preferably you would want the files that tyflow requires to be looked for relative to the .max scene file. for example $scenePath\TyCache

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Currently tyCache paths don't support symbols like that, no.

Thanks for the quick response. Any chance it's being considered?

I've added it to the roadmap, but not sure when it'll be implemented
