Twinmotion ‘missing image file’ solution

Problem: “missing image file” when opening a Twinmotion project file on another computer;

Solution: Use “Resource collector” feature on the computer before saving your project file;

With project opened, go to Twinmotion menu bar > Edit > Resource collector;
Select destination path – ideally a folder on your regular file server;
You will end up with a .tm project file and a “maps” folder containing all the externally referenced files
You may need to re-link missing image files after opening project on the other computer from the maps folder;

INFO > It seems that the ZIP option does not work in the 2020.2 version – just leave it unticked and zip it in finder if required.
