Disable the initial load of a file texture image

To load scenes faster, you can disable the initial loading of file texture images on a per-node basis from disk.

To disable the initial loading of a file texture image

  1. Select the file texture.
  2. In the File Attributes section of the Attribute Editor, turn on Disable File Load.
    Note:

    Turning on disableFileTexture off after the file has been read does not "unload" the texture.

    Disable File Load

    Turn this attribute on to prevent the file associated with the File Texture node from loading.
