Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some help))
I’m using Wedge to bake textures from COPs, and I constantly test results in the Karma render.

When rendering, Karma creates a .rat copy of the texture and then keeps reading that .rat file on subsequent renders instead of the original texture. If I update the original texture, Karma still uses the old .rat, so the changes don’t show up. I end up making new file versions each time, which is inconvenient.

Is there a way to force Karma to always re-check the original texture (or to not create/use the .rat cache at all)? This behavior causes constant friction in my workflow. If anyone knows a solution, many thanks!

Try removing HOUDINI_TEXTURE_DISK_CACHE from environment variables or set it to native. This should skip generating .rat files.
