Quick Texture Reload Feature?

(1/2) > >>

lawrence:
Here's a problem I have; when working on a texture in photoshop, every time I save it and want to see the updated texture on my model in Anim8or, I have to trawl through the material editor - surface texture editor - texture selector - delete the existing texture - then load the updated one. Having to do with every couple of minutes or so really slows down work-flow.
So I was wondering if there could be feature which reloads textures either in real-time or periodically or failing that, at least a button on any of the main tool bars which reloaded textures. What do you think Steve?

Kubajzz:
I agree with this... I have the same problem when texturing :-[

I don't know how about periodical reloading... At least having a new "reload" button next to the "load" and "delete" buttons would help...

hihosilver:
I completely agree with this as well.  Just a simple update button perhaps?

The reason I think periodic reloading would be better than a button is so that you could have a small anim8or window in the corner and see updates basically in real-time as you paint in photoshop, without having to stop and switch windows.
