I have my workflow with Photoshop and Rhino exchanging graphic data with each other. This way of designing, thinking is very important for me. Photoshop generates Image Assets which are used as textures in materials. Unfortunately, some time ago Rhino changed its behavior about refreshing those te…

It looks like no one cares besides me. Different project, same method, even bigger problem. I was succesfully using this method for many projects in the past, but at least in Rhino WIP 7.0.20105.12495, 14.04.2020 it is not responsive enough. As I said in previous post, I am generating Image Asse…

Another project, the same problem. I am writing because I know that there were some changes in the Materials Panel which made it faster, so maybe this problem can be solved also. Material that I am reloading is only around 100 KB big. It is not updating correctly and the way to refresh it is comman…

Jakub I don’t know how I’ve missed this thread. I’m sorry about that. I think I know what this is. If you are using very large textures, the file watcher can time-out. There’s no point in trying to make RefreshAllTextures go faster…if you have a bunch of 8k textures, it will take a while to load t…

Thanks, Andy I hope it will get a little better at some time. In most of my cases, I am updating png files with some hand-sketches only. Other, big textures stay intact and I am only “hot-swapping” rather small files (small in terms of file size, resolutions can go very high). I did not test “Cre…

Just to collect some more examples with problematic textures & responsiveness, this time inside panels: In this rhino file, I have only 1 material with 1 texture. I agree texture file it is pretty big - 8k resolution and 71,7 Mb size. But 28 seconds of waiting until texture shows up in the panel (n…

Jakob I have now tripled the timeout to 3 seconds. Let me know if that solves your problem with 8k textures. I don’t want to go too far - I might end up with some nasty hangs as Rhino waits for a file that just won’t open. Fix will be available in the next WIP Andy

Please send me the file - andy@mcneel.com Andy

Thank you for looking into it. 3 seconds sound promising! I hope it will solve my problems. I will let you know. I’ve sent you the file shown in the last video.

Jakub I’m not seeing that email. Andy
