Is there an option not to bring/load the textures into the Hypershade and turn into a gigantic mess, since I’m not going to tweak any settings on any shaders? And LODs where are they? Trees for example , do they come with LODs or this only means displaying them as bounding boxes in Geometry to load tab? Maya 2023 Vray 5 windows 11 ---

Hi, probably something like the idea that @stezza suggested [here](https://forums.chaos.com/forum/chaos-cosmos/chaos-cosmos-wishlist/1213470-reference-on-import)? Are you both talking about the same thing? ---

Hi Vladimir, no the other posts are about cleaning up the nodes left behind after “Optimize scene” in Maya, I’m asking if there’s a way to not upload the textures into the Hypershade when you import a Cosmo asset, I still want the proxy to render **with** the textures of course, is that possible ? Thanks ---

Hi sorry but I still do not understand the issue. Here is how my Hypershade looks like after importing a Cosmos tree: ![download_id=1vj4rMGDr7aurrZyBNTr0lzqT3nYqgRxa&authuser=0.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/2X/2/21b5d2ad9ea7412f2fb81e58ede42aed2b595e9a.png) ---

That’s what I mean Vladimir, Hyperhade “TEXTURES” area gets populated with all the shading nodes, one single tree might have 4 shaders and about 20 textures, imagine when you are working on one environment is a nightmare trying to stay organized. I wish there was a way of not importing the shading network since I’m not tweaking any proxy shaders and if I need a specific one that is not working quite right I could re-import that one with the shaders so I could modify if I want. I think if there was a check box somewhere where you could tic \> “do not import shading network” , that would be for any assets , cars, people, furniture, any Cosmos asset…that would be fantastic. Unless I’m not aware of a setting or option in the Cosmos browser, I look into it but did not find anything. And currently, if you delete a few tree proxies , these nodes stay behind after you do an “Optimize Scene Size” Thanks for looking into this. ![Hypershade.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/8/3/833a6c6bab06c0274cd22847751bd56a5c12f441.png) ---

Hi, there does not seem to be a workaround to this. Please log a feature request in our [ideas portal](https://chaosvray.ideas.aha.io/?project=VMAYA). If more users join and vote for this improvement we will consider developing it if possible (it may be a limitation on Maya’s side). ---

Okay Vladimir, thanks for asking around, I’ll make a proper request then. Cheers.
