Loading texture option?

[kriscabrera15]

Is there a way to tell vray keep the scene textures on RAM so when you hit render it doesn't have to always load them?

Yes, you need to set this to be the env variable during maya start: SET VRAY_MAYA_KEEP_BITMAPS=1

Keep in mind though its not fully developed yet, so if you change texture in photoshop, it will not get updated unless you close/reopen maya. But if you are doing pure lighting, then this should be fine.
