I´m trying to assign an image to a plane, but it won´t work. Here´s what I did:
First I added the plane, sized it, placed it then gave it a new material. When I then go to the texture settings and try to add my texture, there´s just the brush in the dropdown menu and I could choose from “brush” or “brush masked”. Ignoring that, cause I recall it to be usually set right, I click “new texture”, then change the texture type to “image or movie” and load my .png image via the “open” button.
At this point the image I loaded should show in the material preview, right?
Also when I render, the plane is just grey still.
Blender internal or cycles? you may need to uv unwrap your plane, such as top view and then project from view.
You can activate an add-on called image as plane. this makes the whole process easier
Thank you sir, that worked pretty well! Just did what I thought you´re tell me while you edited your post and it worked. I only missed the operator panel when I added the image.
Thanks again!
