Texture Not Showing

I followed the steps of this video exactly, but when I switch to texture render the texture doesn't show up. It appears the instructor does something to make the UV Map from the previous lessons disappear, but I can't figure out how, or if that affected the outcome in any way.

    Being one of the more convoluted setups in Blender, I'll have to ask you to verify these settings:

    1. Blender 2.79 is being used
    2. Blender Render is enabled
    3. All mesh elements are selected in Edit Mode whenever you create or choose the texture in the UV/Image editor.
    4. Multitexture is enabled in the N-panel's shading section
    5. Shadeless is also enabled in that same shading section
    6. Viewport display is set to Textured mode (option is in the header to the right of mode select)


    I know that's a lot of silly steps but if those are all correct, you should see the texture on your model as in the video.

    I went through your checklist and it all looks good, but still nothing :/

    I figured out the problem. In the top left tab "Slots" there is a checkmark box saying "mask" which must be enabled, and a drop down menu appears allowing me to select the same texture as the UV view.

    You should not check Mask! Unless you want to paint a mask.

    Use Add Texture Paint Slot:

    Why isn't the texture I create in UV mode available in the texture paint slot? I have to create a new one, and then each side has a different texture.

  • spikeyxxx replied

    Set the Painting Mode from Material to Image, then you can select the image you created.

    THANK YOU!!! I'm still a total newb at this. Got it working now!

    Are you in Texture Paint Mode and using 2.79?
