how to activate node texture in 2.5 ?

Support Basics & Interface
1

you add an object then a material then what ?

if you go to node composite then select texture node you cannot add any texture nodes?

thanks for any help

2

Try creating a texture for the material, then select that texture in the node window header and select the ‘Use Nodes’ checkbox

@Ricky Do you mean that after you have set the material as a node material you can’t add any textures to that material?

Perhaps see this bug report http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=26704&group_id=9&atid=498 that might have something to do with your problem and a similar one I am having.

Is this what you mean to do:
1.) Add texture show
2.) Switch to Node Editor
3.) Change to Texture Nodes at the bottom of the node editor
4.) Check the box “Use Nodes”
5.) Set up your nodes
6.) Back in the Texture properties, change the output dropdown to the node you want to use.

what you mean by

1 - Add texture show
just add a texture slot ?

2 - change the output dropdown to the node you want to use. ?

how to do that ?

thanks
