Need help with texturing (GMax)

[Troxy]

Hi, I've been following this tutorial:
http://momm.seiken.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=44

But I have one problem: Texturing.

I use Gmax and when I open the Material Navigator, and drop a texture on to my model, I see no texture. It only goes transparent.

I use a BMP for texture. Do I need to convert first?

Please help me!

try checking the little blue and white checkered box to show texture in viewport.

Hm, I'm affraid that didn't work. The objects that I assign textures to still go transparent...

errr i think i know the problem but you might not like it. i had the same problem too but it wasnt so bad. its probably because you converted it into an editable mesh and so i deleted all the shapes that were converted which were only 3 and then remade them

The problem was that I used OpenGL. I switched to Direct 3D, and then it worked.
