I’m working on a C4D project right now with several other artists. We are using dropbox as our server as we are all remote. We each have our own folders we are working out of. The issue is the dropbox folder is in a different path / drive for each of us. It would be more convenient to 1. not have to package up the files when having someone else open (collect all textures into a relative path local to the .c4d file) and 2. not have to go in and change the render location for our AOVs each time it is handed off for network rendering.
Is there a way to use OS environment variables in the file path strings similar to how tokens are used? That way each user can set up their own environment variables for the project.
