Bridge can't find Image Textures when exporting assets into Blender

Hi guys,

Bridge doesn't export materials correctly for me.
The object does get imported into Blender with a correctly named material, however there's just one Empty Image Texture in the shader, which is not even connected to the P. BSDF Material.

I did a clean reinstall of Blender (using 2.93.7), the latest version of Bridge and the 3.6 plugin, set up a new library path and downloaded some assets to try it out from scratch.
Still the same result.

Here's what the Blender console says when I hit export in Bridge:

Imported asset from Small_Wooden Quixel Bridge

But, as you can see in the following screenshot, the files and file structures in question very much do exist just as they should.

What could this be about? Many thanks in advance.

How is the //MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA drive connected to your PC? eg Local area network? Internet? Physical?

Hey there,

you were right on the money! It's connected directly with to PC (aswell as to the Internet).

I can't believe I didn't try to localize the Library to my desktop before, but that actually seems to have worked.

It's strange, since I've had my Quixel library on that NAS for ages and it always worked. It might have stopped working with an OS update though.

Thanks so much for the pointer!

No worries, glad you got it sorted. :)
