problem to add texture to blender object

i have a 3D human hand object/model upon which i am trying to put an image… i saw so many youtube videos about texturing in blender (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeLtU8NjLRo) all are in “blender render” mode. i am putting the image on the hand by going to texture>open>select image etc(as shown in that video).but when i press ‘p’ in (blender game mode) i am getting normal human hand without the image on it. i think i may be missing something, i dont know?.. or is there any video or tutorial where texture is done in “game engine mode”

Do you have a material on the human hand?

ya i created new material in the hand. i just did what is shown in the video

Post your file (textures included). Most probably, you’ll need to unwrap your model. That’s a thing that (frankly shitty) tutorial doesn’t show you.

in that, i did everything when i press ‘p’ in blender game mode, i cant see the textured hand, i get only the grey color hand…

You were in Solid viewport shading before you switched to Game render. Can you see texture if you switch Game from Material or Textured view ?

You didn’t pack your textures (File->External Data->Pack All Into .blend, then save again) but, from the looks of it you tried to load an image in PSD format. I didn’t know Blender could load PSDs.

There was no need for the original texture in this case, really. Not saying it can’t have some significance on occasion.
