I realised that this has probably to do with a feature request from us from before where we can set a color on failed textures. So this probably overrides the default color. this is tricky how to solve this nicely. [https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/…der-or-texture](https://forums.chaosgroup.com/forum/v-ray-for-houdini-forums/v-ray-for-houdini-wishlist/1082248-hou-2102-missing-default-shader-or-texture) We will think some about this. some ideas though: - remove the failed color on image file totally - exempt udims and non diffuse. even possible? - or have a toggle to turn this on so its off by default the goal for us was when it fail to find a texture it would warn with a color. issue now it probably messes up with default color on the image nodes. and if it fails on for example roughness its still hard to see ---

So regarding your previous request it was implemented with: Renderer → Options → Textures → No Bitmap Color / No Bitmap Texture Renderer → Options → Materials → No Material Color And I hope this’ll help somehow. ---

Sorry for creating this problem so im wondering if Renderer → Options → Textures → No Bitmap Color / No Bitmap Texture can it be turned off by default? Because we want the default color on the image file node to work which it dont with this feature. ![bitmap.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/f/8/f8b05dbf43476389a8dc2f4d00a9fcfd7a82b8c7.png) ![default.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/3X/1/f/1fdadf04d228648abc6a9d922823f1e388e09ef3.png) ---

\> can it be turned off by default? Sure, I’ll add a control for on/off. ---
