blender second window

[DDT]

I am trying to texture a track i have been working on and am wondering how do i get the second viewing windowopen in blender that you use to texture in blender.

i want to go from one view window like this

to the 2 view windows like this so i can texture the cars and the track floor

(The chassis in this pic is one from Outlaws chassis pack, i take no credit i just used it as an example of what i am asking how to get)

right click the top header like so:

select split area then a grey bar will follow your cursor until you left click to place it

ok thanks for the response....now how would i go about moving the car on the texture screen and how do i get the texture to stay on the car because the texture appears only if i have the car selected and am in texture mode but as soon as i go into edit or view mode it goes away

To texture a car what you do is:

1. Go into split screen (UV/Image Editor Mode)

2 Right click on the car

3. Go into edit mode, and make sure everything is selected

4. Image/Open and open up your car texture

thats what i am doing...is the car suppose to go back to grey once you go back into object mode and only show its color if you have the car selected and are in texture paint mode because thats what mine is doing

I did exactly what you said Tharindu and it is gray.

Make sure that next to the "Object Mode" option you select the little 3D box to the right and go to "Textured."

Thanks that worked i would have never thought to check that box as i thought it wouldnt have anything to do with textures
