Can I have my textures update automatically in C4d if I edit them externally?

[champion-jump]

Having to press 'reload textures' for every time I tweak them in my external program is a real drag. I want to see them update automatically each time I hit save in the external 2d editing program. Is this possible somehow? Is there a plugin maybe?

This feature is available in other modelling software that Ive used. Thanks

Hi champion-jump,

You could use the Project
Main Menu> Windows> Asset Inspector> Asset> Reload all Images,
or take this command from the
Main Menu> Windows> Customization> Commands (Perhaps set up a shortcut for it or have the icon in the interface.

However, that might take a while, especially with Redshift 3D, as any renewed texture needs to be loaded and optimized for the GPU again. Hence, constantly checking all content would slow down the process.

You can also suggest this idea to Maxon directly
