Viewing textures in viewport

[Nachex]

Hello friends, I just move to blender.

I have a doubt on how to previews your textures in teh viewport.
I have UVS and in mapping I select the UV and enter the layer where are my UVS, but i can't see come of the textures on my viewport.

Any solution?

Thanks and greetings

Are u sure the scene is iluminated?

[Nachex]

no, could that be?
I mean when you switch from solid to texture in the viewport, it's all white.

Could it be something with lights?

Thanks

yes you have to put a lamp directed to the object to visualize the textured obj.

I recommend this addon: http://blenderartists.org/forum/show...W-Map-Modifier
Ease to select what texture shoud be displayed in viewport, and basic box mapping with real world units.

So, any solution on this? The addon doesn't work as of nightly 20141219.

I've added a double click event on "Image File" node: it will load texture into the "Image Editor" and also apply texture to the currently active UV map so it will be visible in the viewport.

Thanks bdancer.

I've tried it and it's fine. Best of nothing and I think it's good for many purposes.
As suggestion, please add this information in the user's manual because it's one of those things that if anyone advise you, you'll never known. Or if you find a way to add in the GUI of the node...

bardo, tnx, I've added a label to the node.
