Just wondering what fellow artists do about transporting their texture libraries. Often I have to cart my textures from home to a new job or vice versa and wonder if there's a better way? i.e portable hard drives?
What i do is save to a folder at work and then over write my files at home hopefully adding the new ones but this causes a problem if two files are labled the same but are different images. I wish there was some web software that could check in and out files and shift them around so wherever you are you can save them to the same place. Same for model files etc.
Maybe something exists? Trouble with flash drives etc are that my textures are over 20GB total. Another method i've used is saving all new textures at work to a different folder and then I new files to my home ones are already separated. Still hopefully there's a better way. I think microsoft does something called spaces or something but there's probably better methods.....
