hey im new to blender and i was trying to put a texture on my first project. the tutorial said to go to node editor and hit space and go to add>patterns>bricks. i went to add>patterns, and the menu tht popped up was about | | big and blank. i tryed restarting blender but that didnt work. has anyone ever experienced this problem? and if you have how do you get rid of it?
What version of blender are you using vs. the version the tutorial was built for?
Try using Shift+A instead of Spacebar. I assume the tutorial you’re using is for 2.49, and you are using 2.5. But then again, I’m just assuming.
2.49 uses the spacebar activate the add menu, whereas 2.5 the spacebar activates the search tool and the add menu is now Shift+A.
i am using 4.29. i tried using shift+a, it worked in the 3d view, but not in node editor. should I uninstall and reinstall blender?
Did you click the button Use Nodes? It’s in the header panel of the node editor.
i clicked it and nothing happened. but i zoomed out and there are two windows hooked together with a curved string. they dont have an image in them though. I saw a picture of the same thing with images in each window, I think i should be seeing the texture in each box but im not sure
how strange. i downloaded blender 2.5 and tried the same thing and it didnt work, but then i tryed again and it did work. thanks for your help anyway though.
