How do I put a texture?

(1/4) > >>

Anim8er:
Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum, and this make long time that I try to put a texture to my model.  I can put materials but, how can I put textures?  And my biggest Anim8or problem, (i'm begginer) I use too much the Subdivision when I want to put more things to my models (like a mouth).  My model can be a 16MBs!  ;D So, how can I stop this problem, using too much subdivision?

P.S:  Sorry if I don't speak english verry well!  ;D I'm french.

Thanks a lot,

I'm not that good at texturing, but if you just want to basically texture something make a material. then in the ambient, diffuse, specular, and emissive sections is a square with a dash (-) in it. click on the one next to diffuse. click load texture. Go to My Pictures or wherever you keep your textures and click one. then hit open. there will be a box that has three textures in it: none, CHECKS, and whatever one you are using. click on the one your using. then hit ok. then hit ok again. then apply the material to your object. It will now be textured. yay! :)

I will try this.

Thanks a lot for this verry fast answer!

EDIT:  It doen't work?.....

if you need it more precise, like you want to put a dvd cover so that it covers the front, use the uv tool, there are quite a few tutorials for this, and generally, if you have a box that needs to be textured, it's better to texture every face seperately

Anim8er:
UV Tool?  What's UV Tool?  I try to texture it, but it give nothing.  And, how can we texture only one face of a cube like you said?

Thanks
