viewport displays troubles

[appius]

i don't know why, but all objects in my scene are white or black when using the smooth+higlights display and openGL drivers whereas it's ok with software drivers. this happens also with a particular scene file, not with others . any idea?
if someone could tell me also the best way to ul a picture on the forum...

re

Just for viewport texture viewing purposes go to viewport configure and enable viewport default lighting. I hope this is what you're getting at.

mmmm....just looked thru viewport config for that setting and couldnt find it.

i don't see such option there. only a "attenuate lights" that doesn't solve the problem.

re

right-click on the name of any viewport, then select "configure". Select "rendering method" tab...go to "rendering options" group and enable "default lighting"...then select 1 or 2 lights.

I got all set up just right, but still I cant see any textures on the model....stinks.

I have to use active shade to view my the texture mapping and afterward I have to convert the mat to vray.....

[asango]

it will display the map if you check the 'show map in viewport' button at teh bitmap level. so that works for bitmap textures...but i dont know how to get around it for procedurals.

You can also just use CTRL-L to toggle this on and off.
