Textures

Is there any way to add a texture onto a mesh pulled up on Blender?

If you already have the mesh pulled up and map, the easiest way to instantly see a texture is the alt + z command. This switches between solid and texture mode.

When swapping images make sure you mesh is in edit mode select all, under the uv/image editor you can select image/open choose corresponding image.

or follow this tutorial and go about halfway down for texturing the hard way. IMO

Whenever I use the texture mode the body turns to a flat pink or white.. I'm going to try the alt+z though.

This is due to no texture being assigned, read the tutorial on how to apply textures.

i just hit D and select textured, it remebers your choice so it's basically one kestroke and click without thought.

just a touch quicker methinks
