see the texture

[clankill3r]

I had problems with this before but xsibase is gone so i can't find the solution back.
I want to texture something, let's say a sphere with the default texture.

I set the 3d view port to textured.
Add a sphere.
get > property > texture projection > spherical

I don't see it textured, unless i open the texture editor, than the 3d viewport start to show the texture...

why is this?

Softimage does not know yet, the texture you want to apply on the projection. The workflow needs tweeking:

Apply a texture to the object(s) or polygon clusters
Open the texture editor
From the texture’s property editor, specify a projection for the texture.

If you do it the other way, you will have to select a texture and "assign" it to the projection.

These kind of basic tasks are covered in the online documentation.

• Open the Softimage User Guide (Help > User's Guide)
• In the Contents, expand Texturing (expand = click the + sign)
• Expand Applying and Editing Textures.
• Click Applying a Texture.
