Hi Theunis,

if you have the RDK installed then you can pick textured materials via the OpenGL preview shader.

I must have missed something big, I have seen the acronym thrown around and have been meaning to ask, what is RDK and how do I install it?

RDK = Renderer Development Kit It's our platform for Render plugins.

It would be nice to use those instead of the standard openGL shader
which only allows diffuse, specular, transparency, and glossiness.
