I've been having trouble with uploading a color model. I've finally gotten the model to upload, but the texture isn't showing on the previews. If I upload a x3D, it looks all white. If I upload a DAE, it looks all black. I started out with the texture as a PNG, and after reading another thread, I changed it to a JPG. No luck, either way. Any ideas? It printed fine before I tweeked a few things that were too small and added the color. That product is here: http://shpws.me/va40 Here is a screenshot of the model in Blender:
I also just tried up loading a simple cube with a texture, as a test. The texture still won't load in the previews.
Check your file - it should be somewhat readable text - to make sure that it contains the name of your texture file somewhere (and only the name, no folder names or drive letters). If that does not help, please attach at least your simple cube here to allow somewhat more educated guessing.
I tried taking the png off and it still didn't work. Is testtexture not listed at all? And how do I fix this?
You are doing something wrong inside Blender or you found a bug. Are you using Cycles rendering path per any chance?
No. I think I got it. I am new to Blender. I used to use Maya. I'm waiting for the upload to finish . . .
Yup. Got it. I don't understand how it can preview the texture on the model, if the texture isn't linked to the material. It seems that was the problem, though. That's not possible with Maya. But hey. Now I know. Thanks everyone for your help!
