Reload MDL material

[joulsoun]

Hi,
Is there any way to make V-Ray reload my MDL shader?

Right now I have to restart 3ds max or save the shader to a new file name, otherwise it just seems to be cached.

Cheers,
Jens

Not at the moment. I will make a note to add a reload button.

That would be perfect, thank you!

Reloading the same MDL module is not possible because of some limitations of the Nvidia's SDK that we use to provide MDL support. This feature will probably appear at some point, but for now the only way to achieve this is by renaming the MDL file.

Best regards,
Ivan

Ok, thanks Ivan!
Slightly unrelated, but is it possible to reload V-Ray instead on the fly in 3ds max to force it to reload?
