I do not understand specifically the problem you are having, but you can refresh the image clips by toggling this value on them
SetValue "Clips.noIcon_pic.ImageDefinitionType", 0 SetValue "Clips.noIcon_pic.ImageDefinitionType", 1 Which reminds me.. when you used .pics, it was sending the path to mental ray. then when you switched to .psd. it was sending a copy of the bits instead. And when you set it back to .pic, it probably didn't reset that. In other words, it changed that parameter, ImageDefintionType, which in the UI is in the Image Clip PPG under "Texturing->Image Management". It's also toggled by the "Enable Effects" button On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 8:39 AM, Martin <furik...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Sandy, Thanks for yor reply. > > Yes I have that option checked.
