Hello,

Is right clicking and clicking on reload texture maps working for anyone?

I see them updated in the POSER window. But the octane render/ window never seems
to get the message.

thanks

Is there any good advanced, texture tutorial?

Im noticing the Poser image files aren't all going over to Octane. Is that normal?

thanks

Never had any problems with that function.
Could you maybe ellaborate on what you're trying to reload texture maps from, exactly?

Figure or prop? LiveDB materials used?

Any information might help :)

The Reload Texturemaps function just reloads the jpg/png files from disk into your graphics card. You would only ever use this if you had photoshopped/gimped a texture map and want to reload it. Clicking Refresh does the same thing.

thanks for replies

ok. Im a little rusty from being away from Octane for a bit.

Yes, thats what I was trying to do. I see the poser window update - but not octane.

However, I'm guessing its the old texture limit problem? UGH! { however, didn't it use to
alert you ? I'm using V2 }

I didn't occur to me, partly because out of 2000 mg , i was only using 288 mg for the scene.
If so- is there any software solution in sight?

Clicking Refresh does the same thing.

Not sure where refresh is located.

thanks!

Unsure what an "mg" is, but it doesn't sound like you are hitting any VRAM limits. I just checked, and the Reload Texturemaps function does not appear to be working. I will fix it in the next release.

a bypass is to do a reload in poser, then a reload in the plugin
That seems to get the updated texture in octane
