Problems with Material showing in viewport

[JaNk0]

Hi Everyone!

 

Wanted to re-do the fuselage for the my C-47 project.

I thought I would start with different blueprint-line-up approach.

Well stumbled into my first problem.

I can not manage to see my blueprints in the viewport, however

I can see that they are well applied in Material editor

and it renders the blueprint when I render.

Any suggestions how to fix this? :helpsmilie:

Is it frozen? If so, go into object properties and uncheck "Show Frozen in Grey"

Hi Rudel

The object is not frozen. The steps I take are the following:

- Create a plane, Length segs: 1, Width segs: 1.

- Material, choose -> standard -> increase Self-Illumination 100 -> add bitmap by pressing by the Diffuse button.

- Apply to the object.

 

The steps are from youtube tutorial I was watching.

You shouldn't have to increase self illumination, try decreasing it back to default.

I get this occasionally when Max seems to run out of memory (or something), Usually closing Max down and reopening fixes it, perhaps your drawings resolution is too large?

Click the show in viewport button. on the material editor.

 

The button to the right of the "0"

SkateZilla, that solved the problem! Thank you very much!

The problem was solved by pressing on the Chessboard looking icon in the Material editor.

Now, back to work!
