3ds max 5.1 help

talk design

Wee just got 3ds max 5.1! Traded it wif a friend for 4.2, he said something wasn’t working for him but I don’t find anything not working!

…but one thing

When I apply a bitmap texture to an object and add an Unwrap UVW modifier, then select some faces and click “Edit” from the modifier panel the bitmap texture isn’t displayed in the new window (it’s fine on the object though)
any ideas? It’s real hard to add a textture ithout seeing it! :slight_smile:
