This directory normally contains only geometry information, unless you instruct Maya to put all of the information on the file into this subdirectory. You can also use this text box to enter search criteria for scene information. Project Data Locations Specifies the directories for files containing project textures, lights, source images, images, and render scenes. Data Transfer Locations These locations specify the paths to the directories containing files in formats that may require conversion. Note The location directories can be expanded using plug-ins.
