Is it possible to retrieve the texture *filename* applied to a material's basechannel? (i.e. the filename of the texture applied in the color channel)

thanks!

Yes:

// Get Color Channel
BaseChannel* bchan = mat->GetChannel(CHANNEL_COLOR);
if (!bchan) continue;
// Extract full image file path
Filename suggestedFolder =     bchan->GetData().GetFilename(BASECHANNEL_SUGGESTEDFOLDER);
String map = bchan->GetData().GetString(BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE);
Filename fullpath = suggestedFolder + Filename(map);

hmm, i've found out that my current code:

**
// Extract full image file path
String map = pChannel- >GetData().GetString(BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE);
if (map.GetLength() == 0) return FALSE;

Filename suggestedFolder = pChannel->GetData().GetFilename(BASECHANNEL_SUGGESTEDFOLDER);
     
if (suggestedFolder.GetString().GetLength() == 0)
// same as the document
     suggestedFolder = pDoc->GetDocumentPath();

Filename fullpath = suggestedFolder + Filename(map);
**

fails to retrieve the right path when the map is located within a subfolder of the main scene location (i.e. on c4d samples, textures are usually located in a 'tex' subfolder).

This code nevertheless is working fine:

**
Filename path;
GenerateTexturePath(pDoc- >GetDocumentPath(), Filename(pChannel->GetData().GetString(BASECHANNEL_TEXTURE)),
Filename(), &path;)               
**

cheers

I clear the suggestedFolder when the texture is made local (wrt the c4d document). When the texture is elsewhere, suggestedFolder has the path to the texture. Should have mentioned that - sorry. :S
