Not sure what I did, but for some reason my textures on my Water template objects don't work. Oddly they seem to link to a folder that's non existent. It used to work though, I just never noticed where those .avi textures normally go. Can anyone verify where their water texture paths are? Do I have to reinstall iclone?

You should try reinstalling just the iclone resource pack, you can find it in your account in the your orders section, that should do the trick.... Hopefully, but that is what i would try first

I reinstalled the Resource Pack for the same reason; but it didn't help.

It's really annoying that suddenly the water doesn't flow because the Diffuse is empty  (?)
I don't remember when this problem occurred

Any other ideas ?  :-) 

Your screen shot shows that the video file used for the Diffuse was stored in an iClone 4 Custom folder. Does this folder still exist on your system, and is the .avi file present in it?

System: Win 10 Pro (21H2), Asus X99-E WS, CPU i7-5930K -3,5 GHz, 32 GB DDR4 2666-16 RAM, NVidia GTX 1080 Ti GPU - 11 GB VRAM(Driver Studio-536.99), Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB SSD, 6 TB HD storage.

In my case the iClone 4 folder does still exist and so does the files in it.
I've tried to change the path to the similar iClone 7 folder, but it cannot be changed (?)

BTW there is only 3 Diffuse-AVI's and 5 Normal-AVI's - is that correct ?

Can you drag and drop the video in the diffuse channel? Does it playback?

It could be a codec issue, have you tried importing the videos to an image plane? You can do this by holding ctrl and dragging the video to the viewport

Try clicking on "Browse" and go find the video here:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Reallusion\Shared Templates\Video\Water

There are 3 diffuse-AVI's and 5 Normal-AVI's in that folder; BUT

I.e. "River Flow" is referencing this iClone 4 -folder:    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Reallusion\Custom\iClone 4 Custom\Water\New Water

The funny thing is that now the "water" loads up with references in both Diffuse and Normal (Diffuse has been "blank" before), SO

Now it works !

I can't tell how I managed it; but pure luck I guess
