It took less than 5 minutes to write this plugin... And it will save you a lot of time Smiley

I got this idea when working on my entry for the "Take a photo" challenge. I was working on a texture and whenever I saved a new version of the texture file, I had to open the texture editor in Anim8or, delete the texture and load it again to see my model with the new texture. That's quite annoying...

I always thought it would be cool to have a button that would just reload a texture... Well, here it is!

Install the plugin and then click "Script > ReloadTextures" to reload all the textures in your project instantly. Cube map textures will be reloaded as well.

If you have a lot of textures in the project, reloading might take a few moments. Be patient...

I might create another version of the script to reload only the textures that are used in the currently opened object. It would increase the performance considerably when working on large projects... Let me know what you think about it.

Awesome, was thinking not long ago how much of a pain it was to refresh the textures I changed (while working on the same challenge of course). Thanks!

Great script kubajzz. In some projects i might have spend the same amount of time in reloading my textures as in modelling  Tongue
Thanks! Wink

I found a little bug...

The default "CHECKS" texture was reloaded as well which caused an error message when re-opening the file... Please download a new version of the plugin (I updated the attachment above).

I also added a console output to show the progress.

Splendid script Kubajzz, thank you.

Yesterday I used it extensively while tweaking a texture in PS and if one ignores the two clicks it takes to make the script run it's like a PS plugin to update in real time, splendid Smiley

It's too bad you can't assign hotkeys to scripts. that would make using script like this Amazing one quicker. Thanks lot's Kubjazz. This is very helpfull!
