Hey,
I 'm new to Blender and I have problems with textures. I’ve seen many tutorials,but I still don’t know how to use a texture. For example, I have a cube and I want a metal texture from a picture. How should I do that. And btw sorry for the bad English. I’m Dutch and 13 years old!
It depends on the renderer you are using (which you haven’t mentioned)
I suggest you watch the tutorials more closely. If the huge number of detailed texturing tutorials aren’t helping you what specific info are you looking for from a forum post. We’ll only be repeating what you have already been shown in the tutorials.
Steps:
UV unwrap your object
Add a material (method depends on renderer)
Add a texture to the material (method depends on renderer)
Set the mapping to UV
