    The film grain stymied me

    gailgongster
    posted to: Planet III: Post-Processing

    At 8:19 when I send the Texture node to the Viewer, my view turns completely black instead of the cloud texture I created in the Material properties.  Can you please help?

    I prepared a screenshot but see now I cannot upload an image here?  I guess I missed how I should better communicate my question.

    Also, to zoom out of the viewer, we hit V.  How do I zoom back in?

      Hi ggailgongster ,

      You can upload your screenshot now, just not in the first post, when asked directly under a lesson (it is a known bug, that the developers are working on).

      Zoom Out: V, Zoom in : ALT+V...you can also go to View in ther N-Panel.

      Thank you for getting back to me so soon.  My image that accompanies my above post.

      and just for comparison, this is what my screen looked like before I sent the Texture node to Viewer.  Thank you for having a look.

      Hi ggailgongster ,

      That's an easy one; you didn't tell Blender which Texture to use:

      When I bring up the texture node I do not see the texture option on the right.

    • Adrian Bellworthy replied

      DDougpen you will need to select the texture tab in the properties panel

      Funny thing is that tab does not show up at all.

      If you can post screenshots of your situation or even better a screen grab please, so we can more easily try and help you troubleshoot the problem.

      Did you perhaps Pin some Tab:

      ?

      DDougpen make sure your in object mode, the texture tab is not available in edit mode.

      Oh, I never noticed that, Adrian. Thanks!

      That sounds a lot more likely...
