Thank you so much! You've no idea how much I've struggled with pink objects (or maybe you do know!).

I can say without a doubt that the time spent watching this video was the most productive nine minutes of my day. Thank you, many questions answered in just one piece of information.

Thank you!! I replaced my computer and reassigned all of my textures into new directories. This video is a blessing.

Yeah. I also learned this valuable lesson the hard way with the asset browser materials .🤦‍♂️ Now my Asset Browser material or HDRI blend file sits with all the materials or HDRI's. Just don't like having multiple project files with the same materials used in each over and over. Thanks for the detailed file structure info.

wonderful quality of explanation !!! thank you very much ! i was just experimenting with SBAR files from Substance and lost some connection as I was creating with some of them in my startup scene ! . hahaha! Good times ! thanks for sharing your knowledge!

now, this content is actually great! I love how u explain the stuff with a summarized yet meticulous method, which makes things more clear and catches the attention, all of this sum up to an actually infromative and efficient informative video.

Best of all is that u bothered to make a video of something that is not actually popular among the Blender community, this means that it provides information that is not so popular, but useful indeed.

Thank you so much!
