## Absolute vs. Relative Paths
|
||||
|
||||
Blender can reference assets (textures, linked blend files, etc.) in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- by **relative path**, like `//textures\my-favourite-brick.exr`, which is relative to the blend file, or
|
||||
- by **absolute path**, like `D:\texture-library\my-favourite-brick.exr`, which is the full path of the file.
|
||||
|
||||
When an asset is referenced by an absolute path, **Flamenco assumes that this
|
||||
path is valid for all Workers, and will not copy those assets to the shared
|
||||
storage.** This makes it possible to store large files, like simulation caches,
|
||||
on the shared storage, without Flamenco creating a copy for each render job.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< hint type=Warning >}} On Windows it is not possible to construct a relative
|
||||
path to an asset when that asset is no a different drive than the main blend
|
||||
file. If you still want Flamenco to copy such assets, there are two workarounds:
|
||||
|
||||
- Move your asset libraries to the same drive as your Blender projects.
|
||||
- Use [symbolic links][symlinks-guide-windows] to make your assets available at
|
||||
a suitable path.
